Is this you?

What earlobe surgery can fix

Earlobe repair and reduction reshape, resize and restore the earlobes, whether the problem is cosmetic or from an injury. These are the reasons people usually come to us.

A split or torn earlobe, often from heavy earrings or an injury
Lobes stretched by heavy earrings or tribal jewellery
Gauged lobes you want reversed
Earlobes that have lengthened or sagged with age
A keloid or other scar on the earlobe
You can no longer wear earrings comfortably

The procedure suits both men and women. You need to be over 18, in good health and have realistic expectations. If you are not a suitable candidate, we will tell you straight.

Good to know

There will be a small scar. It sits within the natural contours of the ear and usually fades over time.
You can re-pierce, but not straight away. Wait until Dr Ouali confirms the lobe has fully healed, usually around six to eight weeks.
Splits can come back. Recurrence of the split or stretching is one of the recognised risks.
Gauged lobes are a bigger job. They may need skin removal and tissue flap reconstruction, which is priced separately.

Cost

One price per ear, agreed before you book

The package price for earlobe repair and reduction starts from £475, which includes the surgery and follow-up after surgery. The price you are quoted at consultation is the price you pay.

Earlobe repair or reduction, per ear
from £475
Earlobe reconstruction, per ear
from £595
Your exact price is confirmed at your free video consultation, once Dr Ouali has seen your earlobes and agreed whether you need a repair, a reduction or a reconstruction. To book, you pay a 50% deposit or the full amount. There is no in-house finance.

What happens

Four steps, and you can stop at any of them

It starts with a free video call with the surgeon, not a form-filling appointment with a consultant who does not operate.

1

Free video consultation

A video call with Dr Ouali. He looks at your earlobes, explains what he would do, covers the risks, and gives you your price.

No charge, no obligation
2

Decide in your own time

Nothing is booked on the call. If you go ahead, a 50% deposit holds your date, or you can pay in full. Face-to-face beforehand can be arranged, and is charged separately.

Entirely your call
3

The procedure

Around 30 minutes per ear under local anaesthetic. Damaged or excess tissue is removed and the lobe closed with fine sutures. Splits are often closed with a zig-zag (W-plasty) technique to reduce notching.

Day case
4

Follow-up

Most people return to work and drive the same day. A nurse checks the incisions in the first week, and Dr Ouali reviews the result at six weeks.

1 and 6 weeks later

The part most adverts leave out

This is still surgery

However minor a procedure is, there is a potential for complications. Dr Ouali will go through all of this with you before you decide anything.

Swelling and sensitivity usually settle between weeks two and four. The recognised risks are:

Scarring
Infection
Bleeding or haematoma
Asymmetry
Poor wound healing
Recurrence of the split or stretching
Numbness or sensitivity
Keloid or hypertrophic scarring
Allergic reactions
Deformity

Before you book anywhere

Whoever you choose, these are worth asking:

Who will actually perform my surgery, and can I meet them first?
What is their GMC number?
How many of these have they done?
What is included in the price, and what is not?
What happens, and what does it cost, if something needs correcting?
Is the clinic registered with the Care Quality Commission?

Questions

What people ask before they book

Is the video consultation really free?

Yes. The video consultation is with Dr Ouali himself, it is free, and there is no obligation. If you would rather be seen in person before you decide, a face-to-face appointment can be arranged, and that one is charged separately.

Who is earlobe surgery suitable for?

Men and women over 18 who are physically and psychologically healthy and unhappy with the shape or size of their earlobes, or whose lobes have been damaged by injury or jewellery.

Is it painful?

It is done under local anaesthetic, so the area is completely numb. You stay awake and may feel some mild pressure, but no pain.

Can both ears be done at once?

Yes. One or both ears can be treated in the same session. Pricing is per ear.

Will I have visible scars?

Scarring is minimal. Fine sutures and careful incision placement keep scars small, and most people find they fade significantly over time.

When can I re-pierce my ears?

Only once Dr Ouali confirms the lobe has fully healed, usually around six to eight weeks after surgery.

What should I do while it heals?

Keep the area dry and do not wash the earlobes for the first three days. Avoid exercise for at least three days, sleep on your back for a week, keep phones and headphones away from the ear, and protect it from direct sun.

How do I pay if I go ahead?

You pay a 50% deposit to hold your date, or the full amount if you would rather settle it in one go. There is no in-house finance.
