If you are in need of torn earlobe repair in the Bethesda area, turn to the cosmetic ear surgery specialists at Maia Plastic Surgery in Chevy Chase, MD. Earrings are a popular jewelry option for men and women, but they can come at a cost to your earlobes. The piercing in the earlobe and the attached jewelry can cause stretching and damage over time; dangling earrings are also at risk of being pulled through the earlobe. If an earlobe is damaged or torn, it can be repaired with ear plastic surgery. Dr. Munique Maia at Maia Plastic Surgery offers torn earlobe repair surgery at our medical clinic in the Bethesda, MD, area.

The earlobe is made from fatty tissue and skin that is easily torn or damaged. The most common cause of an earlobe injury is from earrings. Either an earring is ripped through the earlobe by force, or the ear piercing stretches until a slight tug on the earring can pull it through the bottom of the lobe. A torn earlobe is not attractive, and most people will want to have the lobe repaired. Earlobe plastic surgery can be performed with local anesthesia during an office visit, restoring the shape of the earlobe.

Do You Need Earlobe Plastic Surgery?

Heavy earrings, aging, trauma and other factors can contribute to a torn earlobe. The earlobe becomes vulnerable to stretching as you get older and heavy earrings can slowly enlarge the piercing until it is easy to rip the earlobe in half. If you need earlobe plastic surgery, Dr. Maia can perform the repair to restore the two pieces into one lobe. After the earlobe heals, you most likely can have the ear pierced again to wear your favorite jewelry.

Torn earlobes are a common occurrence, but they can be cosmetically repaired by a plastic surgeon. If you need torn earlobe repair surgery in the Bethesda area, contact us at Maia Plastic Surgery. Dr. Maia can restore your earlobe shape at our clinic in Chevy Chase, MD – call today to schedule your appointment.

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a consultation with Dr. Maia, not only was her expertise evident, her compassion shown through as she walked us through the process. Thankfully, I felt very comfortable trusting her as I underwent reconstruction surgery. I am very happy with the results and highly respect and recommend Dr. Maia.

Dr Maia truly loves what she does. She is invested in making you the version of yourself you want to be. She listens attentively to what you want and makes relevant suggestions. She did not try to introduce anything unnecessary into my treatment plan. The results I achieved during my first treatment keeps me coming back. Her staff is excellent and works to accommodate your schedule. I have recommended Dr. Maia several times and each time I get the same positive feedback.

Selecting a surgeon: After having two children and weight fluctuations over the years I was left with complete loss of volume in my breasts. I had four consultations with other surgeons but after comparing their photos to Dr Maia’s and meeting her in person, I knew she was my doctor. We talked about my lifestyle - being a mom and a professional, I didn’t want to be too big, but I’m curvy so I didn’t want to go too small for my frame either. She let me try on sizes and once I selected she agreed it was a good fit for my frame. Post op recovery: I was a smoker and had quit prior to surgery but she was very honest and adamant in telling me how important it was that I did not smoke. (I honestly needed the lecture and the transparency about what could happen if I did start smoking before surgery and post-op.) Because I was formerly a pretty heavy smoker, it did cause some issues after surgery with wound closing and she was SO diligent and on top of it seeing me once and week and squeezing me in for appointments between surgeries and patients. She prescribed different things to address the would closure issues before they really became a problem. Being able to have text message access to the office was great when I had questions and she even accommodated my schedule when I couldn’t be seen in person to send progress photos so that she could check on me. 3 months post op: I’m so happy with the results of my surgery and am so glad I waited to find the right doctor. She’s an artist! They look natural, fit my body shape and they haven’t even fully “dropped and fluffed” yet. Would highly recommend… comparing her patient photos to other surgeons will end your search. I feel so much better in my body thanks to Dr Maia.

This is my second time at Dr. Maia’s office and I am so pleased with my experience here. The staff is so friendly and caring. Dr. Maia is the best Dr in the DMV area, she knows exactly what she is doing and you will be happy with the results! I am so glad I found her! I recommend anyone who’s looking for a very personable doctor to come and see her! Thank you Dr. Maia & staff!
