Treatment: Surgical repair.
Wearing heavy earrings, pulling on earrings when sleeping on your side and other factors can sometimes stretch out or tear earlobes.
Surgical closure can be performed but the originally pierced site must be sacrificed. Two weeks after the repair, the ear lobe can be re-pierced several millimeters away from the repair scar.

| 2008-09-25 09:13:12 | I thought it was great, especially when compared to other dermatologists I have been to! Very professional and knowledgable. |
| 2008-05-22 16:28:08 | I thought the waiting room was very nice and all the employees were very kind and took their time during the appointment. Our last dernatologist that we visited for the first time made us wait an hour and a halve for a five minute appoitment.....so we were pretty happy this time! |
