At Sharanya ENT Clinic, Uttam Nagar, earlobe repair (ear hole stitching) costs ₹2,500 for one ear and ₹5,000 for both ears. The ENT consultation is ₹500. The doctor confirms the final cost after examining your ear.

It is done under local anaesthesia. You feel the pinch of the numbing injection; after that you feel touch and pressure but not sharp pain. Mild soreness for 2–3 days is normal and is managed with regular painkillers.

About 20–30 minutes per ear. You stay awake, there is no hospital stay, and you go home the same day with a small dressing.

The ear is usually re-pierced 6–8 weeks after the repair, once the doctor confirms it has healed. The new hole is made slightly away from the scar line. Ear piercing costs ₹1,000 for one ear and ₹1,500 for both ears.

Usually around 7 days after the repair, at a short follow-up visit.

Yes. Earring hole repair is the same procedure as torn earlobe repair: a piercing hole that has stretched into a long slit from heavy earrings is closed and the lobe is reshaped in the same way as a torn earlobe. Stretched lobes from gauges or plugs can also be repaired; the doctor will tell you how much can be done after seeing the ear.

No. Once a tear has healed, both edges are covered with skin and cannot join again by themselves. The edges need to be trimmed and stitched (lobuloplasty), which takes about 30 minutes under local anaesthesia.

Tape, support patches or support earrings can hide a stretched hole and stop it getting bigger, and fillers can plump a thin lobe for a while. But a hole that has stretched into a long slit, or a lobe that has split, only closes with stitching. Ear hole stitching costs ₹2,500 per ear at our Uttam Nagar clinic.

No. Closing a torn or stretched earlobe is a minor surgical procedure. It needs a doctor, local anaesthesia, sterile instruments and stitches, which a parlour cannot provide. Glue or thread methods can cause infection and an uneven scar.

There is a thin stitch line, which usually fades over the following months. How it heals varies from person to person.

Yes. Repair of both ears costs ₹5,000.

A keloid is a firm, raised lump of extra scar tissue that keeps growing beyond the original wound. On the ear it most often appears after piercing, on, behind or inside the earlobe piercing. Not every lump on the ear is a keloid, so the doctor examines it first.

A piercing bump usually appears within weeks of a new piercing, is small, and may be red or have pus; it often settles with care. A keloid is firm, keeps growing for months, spreads beyond the piercing hole and does not go away on its own. WhatsApp a photo and the doctor will tell you which it is.

Please don't cut, tie or burn a keloid at home; it can get infected and can grow back bigger. Silicone gels or pressure earrings may help flatten a small, early scar, but an established keloid usually needs steroid injections or removal by a doctor.

Yes, keloids can come back even after good treatment. That is why removal is usually combined with steroid injections into the area and follow-up visits, so any regrowth is caught early.

It depends on the size and number of keloids, so the price is given after the doctor examines the ear. You can WhatsApp a photo to 88001 07527 for a first estimate.

EMI is available for surgeries at Sharanya. Ask on WhatsApp or call 88001 07527 and the team will explain the options.
