Ear Reconstruction

The problem you see above is not uncommon in women or men who wear heavy earrings that eventually break down the tissue and cause a complete or partial cleft or separation in the parts of the ear. The key to repairing these is removal of tissue that has been chronically scarred and using the cartilage to support the skin by securing the halves of cartiage together first. This creates a sturdy shelf that the skin can be easily closed over creating a natural and sturdy earlobe that can even be re-pierced later.
