Your Consultation With Dr. Paul Leong

During your consultation, Dr. Leong will carefully assess your earlobe and discuss your goals for surgery. He will walk you through the procedure, review before and after photos, and answer any questions or concerns you may have. As a facial plastic surgeon with specialized expertise in procedures of the face and neck, Dr. Leong ensures that you receive the most focused and skilled care for your earlobe repair.

What Should I Expect During the Procedure?

Earlobe repair is typically a simple and quick procedure performed in our office under local anesthesia. The surgery takes about 45 minutes, and there is very little downtime. Dr. Leong will precisely realign the skin of the earlobe to restore its natural shape and size. For the repair, absorbable sutures are used, which dissolve on their own, so no follow-up appointment for suture removal is necessary. Antibiotic ointment will be recommended for about a week to ensure proper healing.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure, and over-the-counter pain relievers are usually sufficient for any post-surgery discomfort.

Will I Have a Visible Scar?

As with any surgical procedure, there is a possibility of scarring, but Dr. Leong is highly skilled in minimizing this risk. His precision and meticulous technique aim to make the incisions as discreet as possible, ensuring that any scars are barely noticeable. His goal is to restore the natural appearance of your earlobes with results that are subtle and refined.
