Summary

earlobe dermabrasion cyanoacrylate glue

Ear lobe tear repair by dermabrasion and cyanoacrylate glue. The procedure become simpler when the technique involves dermabrasion of the skin along the margin until bleeding is attained. After the margin approximation cyanoacrylate glue is applied.

Keywords: earloberepair, dermabrasiontechnique, suturelessrepair, gluerepair

Introduction

Ear lobe tear is a common problem faced by Cosmetic Surgeons these days and is mostly seen in female patients. Common causes of Ear Lobe tears are continued wearing of heavy earrings (ornaments), sudden pull on the earrings due to snagging of earrings on clothes, hair brushes, assaults, domestic abuses and babies pulling on shiny objects dangling from earlobes. Studies have reported 1% to 2% incidence rate of earlobes tear in patients wearing heavy ornaments as earrings. Nowadays true incidence rate is probably much higher due to the popularity of multiple piercing and heavy ornaments worn by today's population.

Earlobe tears or Earlobe cleft can be classified as either Complete or Partial cleft. Partial Cleft (Tears) occurs when the piercing canal is elongated or deformed due to wearing of heavy ornamental earrings. Complete Cleft (Tear) occurs when the earrings is actually pulled out of the original pierced hole of the earlobe forming a divided medial and lateral limb.

Objective. The present study aims to assess the result of lobuloplasty through simple freshening of the Cleft edges by dermabrasion technique and closure using a tissue adhesive (Cyanoacrylate).

Method. In this study, a teared Earlobe was treated by simple Dermabrasion of Epithelialized edges of cleft under local anesthesia and closure using Cyanoacrylate as tissue adhesive.

Report

Earlobe tear repair by dermabrasion and tissue adhesive being the simplest, office based procedure is the ideal method for earlobe repairing. The method requires you to slit open the defective area with the help of a scalpel and scissors for creating a raw area along the full length of the defect, before closing the interrupted surface.

One of the major challenges in earlobe repairs is taking a thin enough slice on both sides of the earlobe to achieve a free-bleeding margin, keeping into consideration that you are not taking too much of the ear itself.

The procedure becomes difficult when the earlobe is smaller (fig. 1). The technique involves Dermabrasion (fig. 2) of the skin along the margin until bleeding is attained (fig. 3). After the margin approximation, cyanoacrylate glue is applied (fig. 4, 5).

With the help of this technique, by just sacrificing a minimal amount of ear tissue, you get smaller defect with free-bleeding margins. This also reduces the procedure time due to elimination of the suturing method, still giving you the straight line that results in showing excellent healing (fig. 6 - result visible after 2months) and praiseworthy cosmetic acceptance.

Conclusions

The proposed treatment method proved safe, simple and less time consuming. It can be considered a good option for partial earlobe repair because of its good functional and cosmetic results, low cost, minimal risk, less time required for procedure and easy application.
