Local anesthesia is typically used to numb the earlobe area before the surgery, which helps to minimize any pain or discomfort during the procedure itself. After the procedure, some patients may experience mild soreness, swelling, or bruising in the treated area. These post-operative symptoms are normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication and following the aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Sundine.

The final results of Earlobe Reduction typically become fully apparent within 4 to 6 weeks after the surgery.

Can I combine Earlobe Reduction with other procedures?

Of course! Earlobe Reduction Surgery can be combined with other procedures to achieve optimal results, such as a Neck Lift or Facelift . Dr. Sundine would be more than happy to explore these options and offer expert opinions on what can work best for you.

What is Earlobe Reduction?

Earlobe Reduction is a cosmetic procedure aimed at reshaping and resizing the earlobes. It is commonly performed to address issues such as elongated, stretched, or sagging earlobes, which can occur due to aging, genetics, or wearing heavy earrings over time. Deformities of the ear associated with aging include both increasing length and unattractive creasing. The procedure involves surgically removing a portion of the earlobe, followed by meticulous suturing to achieve a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing shape.

It is performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. Dr. Sundine’s expertise and artistic eye ensure that patients achieve natural-looking and satisfying results, restoring confidence and bringing attention to the unique features of their faces.

Individuals with elongated or sagging earlobes

The desire for earring comfort
Healthy individuals

Patients with realistic expectations

What’s The First Step?

The first step in the Earlobe Reduction process in Newport Beach or Beverly Hills is to schedule an initial consultation. During this consultation, patients will have the opportunity to discuss their concerns, aesthetic goals, and desired outcomes with Dr. Sundine. He will conduct a thorough examination of the earlobes and assess their size, shape, and overall appearance.

This consultation also provides an opportunity for patients to ask any questions they may have about the procedure and express any specific preferences they may have. Dr. Sundine and his team will ensure that patients feel comfortable and well-informed before making any decisions about proceeding with Earlobe Reduction surgery.

What to Expect on the Day of Earlobe Reduction Surgery

On the day of your Earlobe Reduction with Dr. Sundine in Newport Beach or Beverly Hills, you can expect a welcoming and comfortable environment to help ease any pre-surgery nerves.

The surgery will be performed in a state-of-the-art surgical suite with modern technology to ensure your safety and optimal results. Dr. Sundine will administer the necessary anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. The type of anesthesia used will be discussed during your consultation, and it may vary depending on the extent of the surgery.

During the Earlobe Reduction surgery, Dr. Sundine will carefully remove the excess tissue from your earlobes, sculpting them to achieve the desired size and shape. If the earlobe is long and wide, a wedge excision may be used to reduce the dimension and can also be used to eliminate deep vertical creases. Decreasing the length of the earlobe by excision along the inferior edge heals so well that it’s often difficult to detect that there has been excision.

The procedure typically takes a relatively short amount of time, and you can expect to be in and out of the surgical suite within a few hours.

Real Reviews

What I really like about Dr. Sundine is his vast experience and training. I also like the fact he did not try to sell me other procedures. He is also very down to earth and easy to talk to. I am very satisfied with the results and I highly recommend him.

After much research and multiple visits to other surgeons, I knew right away that Dr. Sundine was the perfect choice for me. I felt completely confident in his ability from the first visit to the last. I have been singing his praises to all of my friends and will recommend him to anyone searching for a plastic surgeon. Thanks, Dr. Sundine

Dr. Sundine is an excellent plastic surgeon! I have been using his services for almost 5 years. If you want to look years younger and fully refreshed I highly recommend that you use his services. Patients walk out looking naturally gorgeous, not overdone like some of the women in Orange County!

Dr. Sundine is the best plastic surgeon. Dr. Sundine’s excellent skills and knowledge has made my surgery turn out so well. But more importantly, it made me feel better about myself. Again, thank you Dr. Sundine for all you have done for me. You are the best surgeon!

I gave Dr. Sundine the highest possible review in each category because he truly deserved the highest reviews on every level. I am a very well recognized lawyer on the West Coast. My firm has spent millions of dollars on television advertising in which I appear. I could not afford to have a bad facelift or even for people to notice I had a facelift at all. I interviewed many physicians including some of the “celebrity” physicians. Ultimately, I chose Dr. Sundine.
