FAQ

Earlobe Repair in Vancouver: common questions

How much does Earlobe Repair cost in Vancouver?

Earlobe Repair generally runs $400–$1,200 per ear, and each Vancouver clinic sets its own price. The biggest variables are the provider's experience level and the specific device or product used. Newer technology and senior injectors price at the upper end. Pricing is quoted in US dollars (USD). Request a consultation from any of our listed Vancouver clinics for a personalized quote.

When will I see results from Earlobe Repair?

Initial results in 2–4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Vancouver providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.

Can I wear makeup after Earlobe Repair?

Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.

Will a torn earlobe heal on its own?

A complete tear will not; the skin edges heal separately and leave a split. A stretched piercing that has elongated into a slot will not shrink back either. Both are repaired by removing the healed skin lining the split or slot and closing the fresh edges so they knit together, which is a short procedure with a reliable result.

Can I get my ear re-pierced after repair?

Yes, once the repair has fully healed, usually six to eight weeks, and ideally slightly to one side of the old site rather than through the scar. Heavy earrings are worth avoiding afterward, since they caused the problem in the first place.

Can gauges be closed?

Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons for earlobe repair. The surgeon removes the ring of stretched skin around the hole and reshapes the lobe into a natural contour. Large gauges require more reshaping and a longer scar, hidden along the lobe's edge, but the result is a normal-looking ear.

What does it cost?

Typically $400 to $1,200 per ear depending on the complexity, with gauge closure and lobe reduction at the higher end. It is done under local anesthesia in the office, and not covered by insurance unless the injury is documented as traumatic.
