Earlobes

Understanding Earlobes

The earlobe is an often-overlooked area, yet it ages just like the rest of the face. Wearing heavy earrings over time, stretched piercings and the natural loss of collagen and volume with age can lengthen the lobe, thin it out or make it lax. The piercing then widens, droops and no longer supports jewelry properly.

A filler injection in the earlobe restores volume and firmness to the tissue, supports the piercing and helps earrings sit properly. This quick, discreet treatment restores a fuller, natural and symmetrical shape on both sides. A fully torn earlobe generally calls for surgical repair; the assessment determines the appropriate approach.
