What is earlobe reduction surgery?

Earlobe reduction is a surgical procedure designed to resize and reshape elongated or stretched earlobes, creating a more proportionate and youthful appearance. This procedure can address issues caused by aging, wearing heavy earrings, or genetics, providing a solution for those who are self-conscious about the size or shape of their earlobes.

The procedure: A delicate approach

The earlobe reduction procedure at Palm Beach Plastic Surgery Institute is performed with meticulous care and attention to detail. A small portion of the earlobe is excised, and the remaining tissue is carefully reshaped and sutured to achieve the ideal shape and size. Dr. Davidson’s individualized approach ensures that the procedure is tailored to suit your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

A signature approach to earlobe correction surgery

Every patient is unique, and Dr. Davidson believes in a personalized approach to facial aesthetics. During your consultation, he takes the time to understand your concerns, evaluate your earlobes in the context of your overall facial balance, and create a customized surgical plan that aligns with your vision.

Earlobe reduction in West Palm Beach is a simple, stress-free procedure with a quick healing process. Local anesthesia is used to numb the earlobes prior to any work being performed.
