Earlobe, one of the most delicate bodyparts, may suffer considerable deformation over the course of life. Typically, it accumulates wrinkles and connective tissue degradation, and earring perforations get stretched and larger. It may cause trouble with wearing heavy ear accessories, and saggy earlobe often gives away one’s true age and causes psychological discomfort.
We offer a wide range of cosmetic surgery services that help resolve issues that cause discomfort and dysphoria.
Sagged earlobes may arise at any age as a result of trauma or overindulgence in heavy ear accessories. Typically, earlobe deformation becomes visible after the age of 40-45 years. When we age, rate of connective and dermal tissue regeneration drops significantly, these tissues lose their integrity, elasticity and resilience, and under the force of gravity the earlobe elongates. Earring perforations may enlarge, and the ear in general becomes less pleasing to the eye.
Typically, earlobe shape and texture are restored with the help of hyaluronic acid fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occuring molecule in our organisms – it is an important element of the extracellular matrix and key lubricating agent in our joints. Hyaluronic fillers is hypoallergenic and integrates into natural connective structures very well. This substance is highly hydrophilic, which means that it retains water and improves turgor at the area of placement.
Sometimes this method is combined with application of growth factor concentrates, which activate regenerative processes and induce tissue rejuvenation.
We recommend getting a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon, in order to learn all about surgery, recovery and choose the optimal course of action.
