A variety of techniques have been described in the literature to repair torn earlobes. Some of these methods incorporate the reconstruction of the earring hole during earlobe repair, but many authors still recommend repiercing the earlobe at a later time. The present article is a comprehensive review of the published techniques for earlobe repair. Illustrations are provided to facilitate the description of the different methods and helpful recommendations are listed for a surgical approach to torn earlobes.
