As a premier Louisville plastic surgeon, Dr. Corbett performs a range of corrective procedures, including split/torn earlobes. Torn earlobes are caused by trauma, often due to heavy earrings that women love to wear. Earlobes are made of very soft skin and a small amount of fatty tissue and can be very sensitive. Thus, men can also split their earlobes during physical or other types of activities.
The goal of split ear lobe surgery is to correct the torn earlobe and restore normal function and appearance. Although, the procedure may result in mild scarring, most patients are able to continue wearing their jewelry after the earlobe has healed completely. This procedure is not intended to correct protruding ears, but can be combined with otoplasty; lip enhancement and/or injectable wrinkle fillers on patients who wish to undergo additional cosmetic enhancements.
Split earlobe repair surgery is performed at Dr. Corbett’s practice.
Local anesthesia is used for this procedure.
Split earlobe repair takes about 10-15 minutes per earlobe. The sutures are removed after one week and patients may re-pierce their earlobes after three months.
There is no recovery. You may return to your normal routine immediately.
The cost is approximately $175 for one ear and $350 for both.
Dr. Corbett is a superb Louisville Botox and laser hair removal Louisville provider who has helped many patients enhance their facial appearance as well as correct certain features such as the ears and the chin.

I researched and interviewed several surgeons for my procedure. I was scared and unsure when I stated the process and Dr. Corbett made me feel comfortable and at ease.
