At MAVIT, treatment options include:
• a mini-invasive surgical repair under local anaesthesia, performed on an outpatient basis and recommended for cut, fissured, stretched or split lobes. A thin strip of skin is removed around the tear, the edges are reshaped and closed with very fine sutures; the initial scar gradually fades over time.
• a non-surgical aesthetic treatment with hyaluronic acid fillers when the main issue is loss of volume, thinning or lack of firmness: the lobe looks fuller, better supported and more regular, improving the support for earrings.
After reconstruction, patients are advised to wait at least one month before having the ear re-pierced and to avoid very heavy earrings to prevent new damage. The goal is to achieve a harmonious, well-proportioned earlobe, with minimal scarring and a natural result that allows earrings to be worn again safely.
