Earlobe Reduction Before and After
Mr Nakhdjevani explained how he was going to repair the split and we chatted throughout the short procedure making me feel totally at ease. It was a completely pain-free experience. I will definitely be using Bella Vou again. 5-star service all round.

The consultation was comprehensive, all of my questions were answered and I left knowing that I could return to request any further information needed. The time went very quickly and the recovery was what I had been told to expect and again the team were on hand to answer any queries etc. My follow up was very thorough also!

TREATMENT OVERVIEW
Earlobe Correction or Lobuloplasty is surgery to lift, resize, or repair the earlobes. Skin ageing and the effects of gravity can make the earlobes thin, long, saggy, and wrinkled. Wearing heavy earrings can make things worse, dragging them down and sometimes splitting or tearing the ear lobes. The specialist surgeons at Bella Vou can repair any damage, reduce the size of stretched lobes, restore symmetry, and rejuvenate the earlobes.
The scars will take around two to three months to heal fully and gain strength. After this stage, it is usually safe to re-pierce on the same site. Most people can enjoy wearing earrings again, although it's sensible to avoid very heavy jewellery.
Earlobe Reduction is an effective operation to make the earlobes smaller, neater, and more youthful-looking.
Lobuloplasty can address many problems with the earlobes. These include:
- Repairing and realigning split or torn earlobes.
- Normalising the appearance of elongated or stretched earlobes.
- Repairing previously torn ears so that earrings can be worn again.
The scar is placed on the back of the ear. Therefore, it is quite discreet and unobtrusive.
We advise you to refrain from exercise for at least two weeks following surgery. After this time, light exercise can be resumed from two to four weeks. By six weeks you should be back to normal activity.
The stitches will be removed after five to seven days. Following this, the wound will gradually gain strength. Gentle massage can be started after two weeks. However, it's advisable to avoid strenuous massage until at least four weeks. After that, you should massage the scar to soften it and improve the cosmetic appearance.

My experience with Amir couldn’t have been better. He understood my concerns and how to address them. He was friendly yet professional and put me at my ease straight away. His skill is superb. The clinic is faultless, as are the staff.

I had earlobe reduction surgery after problems with infection from piercings and general anxiety over the size of the lobes. Everything was explained to me clearly and concisely during the consultation and I was given options before surgery. Amir and his whole team are fantastic. The whole experience feels like a spa day not surgery!

I would like to share my experience to help anyone considering plastic surgery with Amir. I have been to many consultations over the past 12 years, none of the surgeons gave me the confidence to go ahead. I was told of Amir’s new concept facelift by my now best friend and I immediately booked a consultation. Amir explained the procedure and was confident that I would have a good result, he didn’t suggest extra work as others had done. I went ahead and booked for the following month that day, as I felt so confident in him. The result was beyond my expectations with very little discomfort. I had a concept face lift, neck lift upper and lower eyes and earlobe reduction… Amir is clearly a gifted surgeon, enthusiastic, passionate about his work and clearly loves making women look and feel more beautiful. A big thank you to all his staff who clearly love working with him and share in his achievements. Doreen Taylor.

My ear lobes had lost volume and were therefore quite wrinkled. They had also stretched considereably due to wearing big heavy earings for many years. I could see daylight through the holes where they were so big. Amir suggested that what he could do rather than use filler was to cut the bottom of the earlobe including the whole and stitch neatly around the base creating a lovely shaped earlobe. After a few months once completely heeled and the shape settled, I can then get them re-pearced. I’m three weeks into the recovery and they are beginning to look really good. I’m really looking forward to wearing earrings again and them look good. Amir did a great job and has a lovely disposition.

For a while I have been concerned about my large earlobes and have even been growing my hair to cover them. Amir performed the ‘crescent’ procedure on my lobes to reduce the size, which is where part of the lobe, shaped like a crescent, is cut away. This is a procedure which many surgeons do not opt for because it is more complicated than some of the other preferred methods. The overall result and shape is really great and my ears no longer look large, but smaller and more youthful. His suturing is excellent and I can barely see any evidence that sutures were even there! It has been 3 weeks since my operation and although there is a little swelling and redness, you wouldn’t be able to tell that I have had surgery as they look so normal and natural. I am glad that I opted for this particular procedure rather than one of the others.

I came across Bella Vou clinic via a Google search for split earlobe repair surgery…. I made an appointment and all the information I needed was promptly emailed to me. On the day of the procedure, from the moment I walked through the door (and I can honestly say that I have visited quite a few clinics over the years) this one “shone”… When I met Dr Nakhdjevani, he explained how he was going to repair the split and we chatted throughout the short procedure making me feel totally at ease. It was a completely pain free experience and even though this was far from major surgery, he wanted to see that it had healed properly and asked me to make a follow-up appointment. The picture is one week post surgery, healing nicely with only slight bruising. I have not been back for my follow-up yet but I have no doubt after that date, I will definitely be using Bella Vou again. 5 star service all round.
