Earlobe correction
From €750
With an earlobe correction we can easily enhance your earlobes
Uncertainty about ears or earlobes is common. Fortunately, there are several types of corrections to address this. With an earlobe correction, we easily correct and reconstruct earlobes that are too long, large, torn, or stretched. We can reduce earlobes and suture and repair torn or stretched earring holes. We can also bring protruding earlobes closer to the head. An earlobe correction is a relatively minor procedure performed under local anesthesia.

torn earlobe
With a torn earlobe, we make a small incision and remove a piece of earlobe. The surgeon will burn any small bleeding vessels. He then stitches or glues the wound edges together and we cover the wound with a plaster.
Too large earlobe or earlobe reconstruction
A floppy and sagging earlobe often requires a complete overhaul of the earlobe in order to adjust the size and shape of the earlobe. In this case, the stitches and thus the scar will be at the bottom of the earlobe.
When it appears that a new earring hole is needed, the specialist will keep the earring holes open with a silicone tube that you wear in your ears for two weeks. After two weeks we replace this tube with an ulcer button. You take this earring stud with you to the check-up appointment, so that your specialist can replace the silicone tube with the stud.

1. Consult
The first step in any treatment is always a no-obligation consultation. During this consultation, your wishes will be discussed, and the plastic surgeon will assess whether earlobe correction will achieve the desired result. The plastic surgeon will inform you of the surgical risks and any potential complications. During the consultation, there will be time for all your questions, wishes, and concerns.
2. Operation
Before the surgery, we take several photographs. This allows us to see the clearest possible results after the earlobe correction. The plastic surgeon then marks the area and administers local anesthesia. The area to be operated on is covered with a sterile drape, after which the surgeon begins. The surgery takes an average of 30 to 60 minutes.
3. Aftercare
You can go home approximately one hour after the procedure. The wounds will be covered with bandages to protect the treatment area. In most cases, this is sufficient, and you don't need to wear a headband. It's important to keep the treatment area as clean as possible. If the wound has been sutured, we'll remove the stitches a week later.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, you won't experience any pain during the surgery due to the local anesthetic. Afterward, you may experience some pain or discomfort in the treatment area, but our patients generally report that the pain is not too bad. If you experience pain after the procedure, we recommend taking paracetamol. Avoid aspirin, as aspirin increases the risk of post-operative bleeding.
In most cases, surgery for a torn earlobe is not covered by your health insurance. You will therefore have to pay the costs yourself. In some cases, the insurer will cover the costs, for example, if there is a medical indication. An earlobe correction for aesthetic reasons is always at your own expense.
Yes, you can wear earrings again after the earlobe correction. However, we advise you to wait six months before having new holes shot. The tissue needs some time to recover sufficiently.
It's important to realize that every cosmetic procedure carries risks and the possibility of complications. However, these complications are (very) rare with earlobe correction. Our expert plastic surgeons therefore minimize the risks. Some possible complications that may occur include:
Rare
- Blood accumulation under the skin
- Negative reaction to the anesthetic
- wound infection
- Bleeding
Very rare
- Sensitivity change of the earlobe
- Damage underlying structures
- Visible scars
- Dissatisfied with the result
If unexpected problems arise, for example when an ignition occurs, please contact us. Because we are a subsidiary of OLVG, We are available 24/7 in case of complications.

The surgery went quickly. I think it was about 45 minutes, but it felt like 20-30. Immediately afterward, I saw my ears in a mirror. They looked beautiful! I didn't feel drowsy or dull for a single moment. I hardly had any pain afterward.

“The result is more beautiful than I could have dreamed.
If I ever need anything done again, I would definitely go to Dr. Roossink again. Thank you so much for all the excellent care!
