Ear reconstruction, also known as ear lobe repair surgery, is a procedure to fix a torn, split, or stretched ear lobe. It can be done to correct a congenital defect, injury, or damage from wearing heavy earrings.

The surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia and involves removing damaged tissue and closing the incision with sutures.

The recovery is generally quick, with most people being able to return to work and normal activities within a few days.
