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.
Ear concerns:
-
Wrinkles in the ear lobe: Wrinkles form as volume is lost during the ageing process and from pressure from earings.
-
Shape of the ear lobe: Also changes when it looses support around the earing hole, often drooping. this can also be from heavy earings or genetics.
-
Ear skin: Dry or scaly skin patches or broken capillaries.
-
Asymmetry of the ears: Ear lobes or the ear it-self maybe different size or stick out from the face. We can also improve the ears following ear surgery - Otoplasty (correction of ears that stick out).
Treatment Solutions:
Non-Surgical Option: A thorough consultation is required to be assessed for suitable treatment options.We will discuss procedures, contra-indications, risks, side effects, benefits, recovery, aftercare, costs and maintenance, Some S4 drug treatments maybe required to improve your ears. To meet TGA & APHRA regulations, this can now only be discussed at consultation.
​​
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 some volume repalcement treatments can achieve.
However, there is more downtime and risks with surgery. All performed by one of our Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons. Refer to each individual clinic for more information.
Prices / Before & After photos :
Due to TGA and APHRA regulations it prohibits promoting prices or photos in Australia for any S4 treatments
