Torn, split or long and droopy earlobe rejuvenation is an easy in-office procedure that takes approximately 30 minutes from start to finish. Under local anesthesia an enlarged earring hole is closed or a torn earlobe is restored. The sutures are removed in just one week. Dr. Robinson can re-pierce your ears 6 weeks later (see Pierced Ears). So go ahead and get those earrings you always wanted but couldn't wear.
