Surgeons at the Teknon Group
Lobuloplasty is a simple, outpatient surgical procedure designed to correct and reconstruct earlobes that have become deformed due to prolonged use of heavy earrings, accidental tears, ear gauges, or the natural aging process. It is performed under local anesthesia using precise suturing techniques that restore the lobe’s natural shape and appearance. The procedure is quick, with minimal discomfort, a short recovery time, and long-lasting results, allowing you to wear earrings again as usual.

The ear plays a significant role in the harmony of the facial contours: when the earlobe is torn, elongated, or overly bulky, the overall appearance loses its balance. At Clínica Belba, we perform lobuloplasty in Barcelona to close torn holes, reduce lobes that have become elongated due to the weight of earrings or from expanders/dilatation, and refine bulky lobes so that the facial profile appears lighter and more proportionate.
In my day-to-day work as a specialist, I mainly encounter two scenarios:
People with torn or severely stretched earlobes caused by years of wearing heavy earrings or an accidental pull.
Patients who have worn tissue expanders and now want to reconstruct the edge of the earlobe and restore its natural shape.
We also treat protruding earlobes that draw unwanted attention; a small excision can make a noticeable aesthetic difference. And yes, all of this is done on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia, without the need for hospitalization.

A phrase I often repeat during consultations: “Both problems can be solved relatively easily.” With careful planning and proper suturing, the results look natural and restore that sense of balance when you look at yourself from the front and in profile.

Common issues: earrings, stretched piercings, and swollen earlobes
The procedure typically lasts 20–40 minutes per lobe; it is performed on an outpatient basis under properly administered local anesthesia (most patients tell me, “It hurt less than I expected”). Depending on the case, at Clínica Belba we use:
We remove the stretched or torn tissue and reconstruct the edge of the lobe.
useful in lobuloplasty for enlarged breasts, as they allow for the redistribution of skin and the reconstruction of the lower contour.
In my experience, “the size of the earlobes is typically reduced using skin flaps or wedge excisions, resulting in scars that are usually very inconspicuous.” It is precisely this combination that gives us a natural-looking result.
Quick Time Guide (approximate):
Recovery from lobuloplasty is quick and involves only mild discomfort. You’ll be able to walk out on your own and go home with simple aftercare instructions.
Key Care Tips at Home
What helps most: “Most patients are able to walk out on their own within an hour; comfort is improved with properly administered local anesthesia.” Follow-up visits at Clínica Belba allow for safe adjustments to treatment plans and recovery times.
Office/remote work: the next day, if you're feeling well.
Physical work or helmet/headphones: best to start in weeks 1–2.
Gym/running: Start slowly and build up after the first week; avoid sweating and straining the area.
Although it is a safe procedure, all minor surgeries carry risks: mild bruising, infection, visible scarring on prone skin, or asymmetry if the underlying tissue was severely damaged (due to very large dilations, for example). That is why we take great care in planning the design before entering the operating room.

At Clínica Belba, we focus on flap and wedge excision techniques tailored to the specific type of damage, with a focus on minimal scarring. If you come to us for stretched earlobes, we reconstruct the edge so that the lobe regains its natural shape and tension.
