Repair of torn earlobes is a very common and simple procedure. A little known secret is that long earlobes are a common sign of aging, and correction of this deformity can provide a subtle but significant rejuvenation effect. We treat earlobe keloids, boxer’s ear, and other congenital and acquired ear deformities.
