About
For decades body piercing has been popular and even now continues to attract both women and men. over time regular ear piercings can become cosmetically unappealing for some people. It is becoming increasingly common practice for women and men to have gauged earlobe stretching. This involves the use of gauges (expanders) to stretch the earlobe wide enough to insert increasingly bigger decorative plugs. For some people this can cause distortion and thinning of the earlobe tissues and can lead to permanent damage. Surgical repair is possible but is tricky.
Ear piercings and use of gauges are not the only causes for patients needing ear lobe repair. Patient's can experience injury or trauma to their earlobes that requires surgical repair.
