While earlobes are a seemingly small part of the face, the loss of volume or fat in the ear can be a visible sign of aging. A young earlobe appears soft and supple, while an older earlobe will have less volume, becoming thin and saggy.
Dermal fillers can be an option to restore the youthful look and feel to the lobe. Juvederm®, Perlane®, and Restylane®can be injected to add softness and create a rounder, plumper look. The filler lasts for about six months and should be repeated to keep volume within the earlobes. If the patient prefers the more voluminous appearance, a fat transfer is another more permanent option.
The treatment is relatively quick and comfortable. Patients can wear earrings immediately thereafter, and there is little to no swelling or bruising after treatment. The doctor can numb the treatment area with a local anesthetic right in front of the earlobe. Earlobe injections then become virtually painless! You might call it ’lunchtime’ earlobe rejuvenation!
