This does not seem like a huge issue, but it can be for some patients. Earlobes that are too large can have a negative effect on patients. Patients often complain that they look older just because their earlobes are too large or pendulous. More often this is an issue that women deal with, especially those who wear heavy earrings. It can stretch the earlobe and leave them hanging really low.
Another subset of patients are those who are just born with large earlobes. The earlobes can be thick and pendulous as though they have been wearing large earrings, but in fact it is just their genetics. This can be corrected with earlobe reduction surgery.
These procedures are done in the office setting with just local anesthesia. There is often very little down time associated with this procedure. The results are excellent. Patients are very happy with the changes that they see. My goal with this surgery is to make this look natural. Patients can wear earrings after this procedure, once all the tissues have healed.
