It’s all thanks to a quick earlobe repair procedure, which repairs a deformed earlobe.     From celebrities to artists to everyday girls, we all know it’s the accessories, that make the outfit, and these days those often dangle from the ears, or at least they did for Judy Thompson, until something happened. “It’s probably been 15 years ago that it broke through,” said Judy Thompson. Judy now has a common problem that Dr. Jon Mendelsohn, a facial and cosmetic surgeon, said often happens as we lose ear volume over time. “It just begins to slowly stretch,” said Dr. Mendelsohn. “It’s a dynamic or elastic tissue and we start to see these tears.” For Judy that was pretty devastating to hear. “I love some of my earrings so much that i started using superglue to glue the pieces together,” said Judy. So rather than continue this way, Judy made the decision to have what’s known as “a lobuloplasty,” “A lobuloplasty is an earlobe repair procedure to repair a deformed earlobe,” said Dr. Mendelsohn. For the ten minute procedure, the ear is simply numbed and the skin inside the tiny tear is removed so the newer skin underneath will grow back together.  It is then repaired with tiny dissolvable stitches. It will be about a week that Judy will need for healing before the hole closes up. In a month Judy can get her ears or that ear re-pierced, but it will be a little while before she wears anything heavy and dangling. While we are not what we wear, Judy has said that she agrees with what Dr. Mendelsohn said he is told a lot, that “Most people don’t feel whole again until they have their ears back and they are wearing earrings.”
