Earlobe Rejuvenation with Dermal Filler

Earlobe rejuvenation is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to restore lost volume, structure, and a youthful contour to aging or stretched earlobes. This treatment often uses hyaluronic acid (Juvederm, Restylane, etc.) or other similar dermal fillers (Radiesse, etc.) to improve the appearance of thin, wrinkled, or elongated lobes and to better support earrings.

Reasons for Earlobe Rejuvenation

• Volume Loss: Over time, earlobes naturally lose collagen and elasticity, causing a deflated or drooping look
• Earring Support: Heavier earrings or years of wear can stretch the piercing or lobe, making earrings sit poorly or tilt forward
• Aesthetic Preference: Some individuals wish to restore smoother, plumper earlobes to match their overall youthful appearance
• Skin Changes: Wrinkling or sagging around the lobe may appear more noticeable with age

Dermal Fillers for Earlobe Rejuvenation

We use hyaluronic acid and many other fillers to add volume, improve shape, and smooth fine lines. These products are safe, biocompatible, and moldable for natural-looking results.

The Earlobe Filler Procedure

• Longevity: Results usually last 6 to 12 months and in some cases longer.

Aftercare Guidelines
