Who would benefit from an earlobe reduction?
For those who have long earlobes, their ears can be a source of embarrassment. Typically, these patients have felt self-concious about their ears for a long time.

Depending on the problem, earlobes can be reduced by removing skin from the bottom of the ear leaving the scar along the bottom of the ear, or the earlobe can be wedged, leaving a vertical scar in the earlobe. For people who stretched out their earlobes with guages, the wedge excision is preferred. For those born with longer earlobes, Dr. Sheila Nazarian prefers the incision to be hidden along the bottom of the earlobe. Either way, the earlobe tends to heal very nicely.
Earlobe reduction surgery tends to heal without much discomfort. Icing and pain medication is necessary for 1-2 days. Keeping the head elevated for 3 nights is also recommended. Antibiotic ointment is used as dressing along with a bandaid.
Dr. Nazarian performed keloid research and is up-to-date with methods to reduce the risk of getting a keloid again.

Dr. Nazarian is the a 5 star plastic surgeon! I had a growing scalp mass above my left ear, kinda like a cyst, she told me it was called lipoma. Anyway she removed the cyst in her office even when I was told by other doctors that it had to be done at a hospital which is more cost full and inconvenient for your wallet. She’s a great doctor and definitely recommend anyone to visit her office, her receptionist is on point and is very kind, helpful, and welcoming when visiting the office or calling about your appointment. - Irvin D.
