More Procedures

Earlobe surgery (torn earlobes, earlobe reduction or enlargement procedures)

Torn earlobes are usually caused when earrings are pulled through or from wearing heavy earrings for long periods of time.  These tears can be easily repaired in our office with specialized suture techniques under local anesthesia.  Earlobes usually heal quickly with minimal scarring.  In most cases, the earlobe can be pierced again in six weeks after surgery to receive light-weight earrings.

Earlobe size can also be altered.  Long floppy earlobes can be surgically reduced in the office using similar techniques as in torn earlobe surgery.  Small earlobes can be augmented using filler injections described in the filler section.

Skin lesions

Moles, skin tags, benign and malignant skin lesions can be removed in our office.  The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and may require sutures.  If there is any uncertainty about the lesion, a biopsy might be performed for diagnosis before fully excising the lesion.
