Is earlobe reduction surgery a new trend in plastic surgery? Your ears are almost fully grown around age 5, but what about your earlobes? Do they continue to get larger even if the ear has stopped growing? Will earlobe reduction help you “look younger?” What is involved in earlobe reduction? Dr. Adam Hamawy, a leading board certified plastic surgeon in Princeton, NJ, is an expert in earlobe surgery and ear reduction surgery. I had a chance to interview him on the topic of earlobe reduction surgery; he also has patients who seek his expertise and come to his practice as a result of bullying.
How common is earlobe reduction?
This is seldom mentioned but fairly common add on procedure to facelifts. It can also be performed on its own as a simple procedure in the office
Does an earlobe reduction really make someone look younger?
Deflated earlobes, like your hands, can give away your age. If you are have been taking care of keeping your face looking youthful but ignoring these other areas then something may look off and others may suspect that you've had something done. To achieve a natural look everything should be in harmony: face, neck, eyelids and yes, the earlobes.
How does an earlobe reduction work?
As small wedge of skin is removed to tighten up the earlobe. Sometimes, we also inject a tiny bit of fat or filler to restore volume if it looks deflated.
How does it impact things like pierced ears?
Most of the time this doesn't effect piercings at all. However, many women take the opportunity to have their elongated piercing repaired and repierced in a higher position.
