Earlobe tears - prevention and repair
Because an earlobe is made of skin and fat, with no hard cartilage or bone, they are prone to tearing, usually as a result of snagging or pulling while pierced earrings are in place. A recent study published in the Journal of Dermatologic Surgery identified the most effective technique for correcting partial tears, but as with most health matters, prevention is better than cure.

Ear surgery or Otoplasty
If you're considering ear surgery...
Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is usually done to set prominent ears back closer to the head or to reduce the size of large ears.
For the most part, the operation is done on children between the ages of four and 14. Ears are almost fully grown by age four, and the earlier the surgery, the less teasing and ridicule the child will have to endure. Ear surgery on adults is also possible, and there are generally no additional risks associated with ear surgery on an older patient.
