Chicago Split Ear Lobe (Torn Ear Lobe)

Split earlobe, or torn earlobe, usually occurs when heavy earrings are worn.  It can be seen in women or men of all ages.  There can be either a complete or partial split of the earlobe.  Some people just learn to "live with it."  However, the social embarrassment is typically what motivates people to seek correction.  The procedure is simple and highly effective.  It can be performed under local anesthesia and usually takes about 15 minutes.  Insurance will frequently cover the cost of the procedure.
