What is an Earlobe Lift?

As we age, the natural process of facial aging can affect various features, including the earlobes. Over time, the upper earlobes may gradually elongate, impacting our face's overall appearance. Additionally, some individuals may have naturally extended upper earlobes due to hereditary factors. An earlobe lift procedure, performed by the skilled hands of Dr. Shim Ching, can effectively address these concerns by rejuvenating and enhancing the earlobe, resulting in a more youthful and appealing look. Rest assured, at Asia Pacific Plastic Surgery Inc. in Honolulu, Hawaii, your satisfaction and confidence in your appearance are our top priorities, and we are here to support you every step of the way.

What are the Benefits of an Earlobe Lift?

While it is a relatively simple procedure, the earlobe lift can have dramatic benefits. Our patients have found that it: 

  • Restores a more youthful and symmetrical appearance to the earlobes
  • Enhances the overall facial harmony and balance
  • Boosts self-confidence and satisfaction with your appearance
  • Provides long-lasting results that can positively impact your daily life

Is an Earlobe Lift Right for Me?

We’ve loved bringing the healing care of an earlobe lift to our patients. We’ve found those who get the most out of the procedure are those who: 

  • Are bothered by elongated or drooping earlobes
  • Desire a more youthful and balanced appearance to your earlobes
  • Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the procedure
  • Seek a minimally invasive solution with long-lasting results
  • Are looking for personalized care and support from a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon

What is the Procedure Like?

The earlobe lift procedure is a straightforward and minimally invasive process. Typically performed under local anesthetic, Dr. Ching will carefully remove a small, wedge-shaped amount of tissue from the earlobe. The earlobe is then meticulously stitched together in a smaller, more desirable shape. Additionally, dermal fillers may be used to restore volume loss in the earlobe, further enhancing the rejuvenation process. This combination of surgical reshaping and filler injections can successfully recreate a more youthful and resilient ear lobe shape. It's important to note that while most patients will need to have their ears re-pierced about six weeks after the procedure, Dr. Ching will provide personalized guidance on when it's safe to undergo a new ear piercing from a trusted professional.

Recovery and Aftercare

You can expect a relatively quick and comfortable recovery following the earlobe lift procedure. Mild swelling and bruising are common and can be managed with proper care and medication. Dr. Ching and our team will provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth and successful recovery. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days, with minimal downtime.
