Split earlobes are not a pleasant sight to look at. There can be a lot of reasons for your earlobes to get split, like if earrings are stuck suddenly and tear through the piercing hole. Wearing a heavy earring for a long time leads to an elongated piercing hole, eventually leading to a split in the lobe.
Not only people having piercing holes, it might happen to those not having one as well. Wearing tight clip-on earrings restricts the blood flow in the earlobe which leads to dead nerve tissues and causes necrosis of that particular part of the lobe.
Repair and Reversal of Split Earlobes
A small surgery is required to make the earlobe attached again. You can approach plastic surgeons or ENTs for this surgical procedure. First of all, anaesthesia is injected into the place where it needs to be operated. Then the skin around the widened or the split hole is severed away and the sides are stitched back together.
If your doctor uses a suture to sew the area, you have to come back after a given period of time for removal of that. Some special kinds of sutures absolve along with time and the whole process does not normally arise any cases of severe complications.
If you bear a history or past incidents of having keloids or large scars, you have to be careful about informing in detail to the doctor. The one performing the operation needs to know about your preferences, whether you will like to wear earrings after the operations or what shape of the earlobe you want. In this case, the surgeon will leave a small tract after the earlobe repair.
The good news about split earlobes is that these are totally repairable; you just need to know about the correct procedures from Curedit to get it fixed correctly.
