EARS

Over time your ear lobes thin, wrinkle and deflate, losing collagen and elastin, especially when wearing heavy earrings which over time weigh down the ears and cause the lobes to stretch and sag. Earlobes loose elasticity and volume just like our face and breasts.

 

We use dermal fillers to restore your ear lobes to a plump, well-shaped appearance, just like other areas of the face. However, the Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers last much longer in the earlobes than other areas of the face because the earlobes do not endure wear and tear of constant muscle movement. Filler also can support a stretch earing hole, so earrings stay in and look better visually. The filler in this area can last approx. 18 months or longer depending on your metabolism, volume used to correct, and the type of earrings worn. Heavy or large clip-ons may make the filler not last as long.

How Dermal Fillers can improve our ears?

  • Wrinkles in the ear lobe: Dermal filler can be place into each wrinkle as well as replacing what volume is lost during ageing process. It may not require much filler and can be used with left over filler from another area being treated.

  • Shape of the ear lobe: Also changed with dermal filler, to enlarge/plump in certain areas, and can support and earing hole so they do not droop. 

  • Ear skin: Dermal filler or beauty booster can improve the quality.

  • Asymmetry of the ears: Often one ear may need filler to even the ear lobes. We can also improve the ears following ear surgery-Otoplasty(ears stick out). If there is still shaping or volume required to the earlobes.

  • Surgical Option: Otoplasty (Ear pinning back & earlobe reduction/shaping) or the torn earring holes may need surgical stitch repair with our Plastic Surgeons. This often will not improve wrinkles or lost volume that dermal fillers can achieve.

Pain Relief:

  • Numbing cream is applied 30 min prior.

  • There is local anaesthetic in the filler.

  • Ice is always used to reduce any discomfort and decrease the risk of bruising.

  • Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is offered at no extra cost.

Side effects:

  • Bleeding, redness, swelling, bruising,

  • Rarely, infection, numbness, asymmetry, overfilling, under-filling.

  • Extremely rare is nerve damage, early or late onset nodules, granulomas, vascular occlusion(skin necrosis). More detail is in the link below or at your thorough consultation.
