How your earlobes benefit from dermal filler

Ear Care

Your earlobes are covered in the same skin as the rest of your body. They are subject to the same signs of aging—sun damage, wrinkles and volume loss. Caring for the delicate dermis of your ears can be easy. Simply extend your product usage out to them.Your ears are tough and additional treatments such as chemical peels, laser treatments and retinol creams can be used here. Of course sunscreen is always your best line of defense against aging. Skin cancer on the outer ear is quite common since the ear is regularly exposed to the sun without any SPF.

Earring Usage

Responsible earring usage is a must. It’s best to not choose the heaviest, most ornamental chandelier earrings. For special occasions this can be appropriate, but not for daily wear. Excessively wearing heavy earrings will inevitably lead too long, stretched out holes and can risk tearing the ear hole.

Don’t sleep in your earrings. If an earring gets caught on a bed sheet or pillow, there is too much pulling and possible tearing. Use support discs and/or adhesives if you simply must sport heavy jewelry or multiple earrings in a single ear.

​Dermal Filler in the Earlobes

If the damage has been done and led to a loss of collagen and elastin, changing your ear from the plump lobe to a shriveled one then dermal fillers can be used to re-establish volume loss. A few simple injections of hyaluronic acid filler, like Restylane or Juvederm, around the lobe or earring hole can quickly revive a slack earlobe. Adding cushioning volume back to the earlobes can tighten up the hole. It can provide support for earrings once again.

​Very few side effects (mainly light bruising or swelling) with immediate results, make it a quick lunchtime procedure. Of course, dermal filler injections aren’t the only answer. Those with extensive damage and/or ripped earlobes may require a surgical procedure to address the damage.
