POINT 03

Customized Surgical Planning

Tailored to Degree of Clefting and Ear Shape

When volume is insufficient compared to a normal ear, dermis grafting may be performed using skin-cartilage tissue from behind the ear, or from the groin or buttock area.

Surgery Process

Earlobe Surgery — Surgical Process

Earlobe clefting presents as a bifid or split earlobe and is classified as congenital or acquired.
Acquired earlobe clefting is most commonly caused by damage from earring wear,
and cases where the earlobe has been severed or torn due to trauma can also be corrected through earlobe surgery.

STEP 01

Surgical Planning
Based on Earlobe Condition

An appropriate design is created based on the shape, degree, and location of the earlobe cleft.

STEP 02

Skin Excision to Remove
Rolled-In Tissue

An incision is made in the skin to remove unnecessary tissue.

STEP 03

Creating a Natural,
Soft Earlobe Line

Skin tissue is repositioned according to the design to create a smooth, natural earlobe line.

STEP 04

Meticulous Suturing
to Complete the Procedure

Precise and careful suturing minimizes scarring.

Pleasure Specialty

Two Special Features of
Pleasure Earlobe Surgery

POINT 01

Preserving Autologous Auricular Cartilage
in Anticipation of Future Rhinoplasty

Auricular cartilage — flexible and pliable, similar in quality to nasal tip cartilage — can serve as a grafting material for Rhinoplasty. Even without current Rhinoplasty plans, we preserve the patient's own auricular cartilage as a precaution against any future need.

POINT 02

Natural Earlobe Reconstruction
Even for Complex Cleft Patterns

Simple horizontal or vertical clefts can be corrected with a straightforward suture repair, while more complex cleft patterns are addressed using tissue from the earlobe itself or surrounding areas. When volume is insufficient compared to a normal ear, dermis grafting may be performed using skin-cartilage tissue from behind the ear, or from the groin or buttock area.

FAQ

Before Earlobe Surgery
Frequently Asked Questions

Q What is the difference between congenital and acquired earlobe cleft?
An earlobe cleft is a condition where the earlobe is bifid or split, and is classified as either congenital or acquired. Acquired earlobe cleft most commonly results from earring-related damage, and cases where the earlobe has been severed or torn due to trauma can also be corrected through earlobe surgery.
Q How does this differ from simple suture repair?
Simple horizontal or vertical tears can be corrected with a straightforward suture repair, but more complex tears are addressed using tissue from the earlobe itself or surrounding areas. When volume is insufficient compared to a normal ear, dermis grafting may be performed using skin-cartilage tissue from behind the ear, or from the groin or buttock area.
Q Why is the patient's own auricular cartilage preserved?
Auricular cartilage is flexible and pliable — similar in quality to nasal tip cartilage — and can serve as grafting material for Rhinoplasty. Even without current Rhinoplasty plans, the surgery is performed while preserving the patient's own auricular cartilage in preparation for any potential future procedure.
Q When are the sutures removed after surgery?
Sutures are removed 5 to 7 days after surgery. Only one follow-up visit is required, though this may vary depending on individual condition.
Q Will there be scarring after surgery?
Precise and careful suturing minimizes scarring. Natural results are achieved through the direct care of our board-certified plastic surgeon, who brings years of extensive clinical experience, refined technique, and a keen aesthetic sensibility.
