Doctor Dan Wright is not only one of the kindest and nicest human beings you could ever meet he’s one of the most professional. At every stage of my procedure I felt reassured and in very safe hands. I would not normally post a review of anything that isn’t a restaurant or a barber but I felt compelled to here because my experience was so wonderful. Fantastic stuff. Brilliant.
Dr Dan and his team at 101 are exceptional. I was made to feel so comfortable and relaxed during my procedure and everything is done with the highest level of professionalism. Can’t recommend them enough!

Staff were all extremely kind and thoughtful all through the process. I always come away feeling like I’ve had the best chat with good friends over a delicious coffee in a gorgeous spot. And all the while… also leaving with healthier skin. I’ve loved working with Emma and Duncan and everyone else at 101!

A split earlobe is one of the most common concerns treated at 101 Harley Street. It occurs when the piercing hole tears partially or completely through the lobe, most often caused by heavy or hooped earrings pulling downward over time, a sudden tug on an earring, or the gradual stretching of a piercing that widens until the tissue gives way.
Split earlobe repair is a quick, precise procedure performed under local anaesthetic that reconnects and reshapes the divided tissue to restore a smooth, natural earlobe contour. The split edges are carefully refreshed and sutured in layers to produce a strong, clean repair that heals with minimal visible scarring.
At 101 Harley Street, split earlobe repair takes around 20 to 40 minutes and is performed as a day case, with most patients returning to work the same day or the following day. Both earlobes can be treated in a single appointment where required.
Yes, in most cases. Once the earlobe has fully healed, re-piercing is possible. Most surgeons recommend waiting a minimum of 3 to 6 months after repair before re-piercing, and advise piercing in a slightly different position to avoid the repaired scar tissue. Your surgeon at 101 Harley Street will advise on the appropriate timing and positioning at your post-operative review.
Patients who have used gauge earrings or plugs to stretch the piercing over time often have a larger, more complex repair to address. Depending on the degree of stretching, the repair may involve removing excess skin and rebuilding the earlobe from the remaining tissue. The result is a natural-looking, reconstructed earlobe that can be re-pierced once healing is complete. Your surgeon will assess the extent of the stretching at consultation and outline the most appropriate approach.
It is common to have questions about a surgical procedure. Some key questions here that we receive from patients considering a nearlobe repair.

Earlobe repair at 101 Harley Street is a minor surgical procedure performed under local anaesthetic that takes around 20 to 40 minutes. For split or torn earlobes, the divided tissue is carefully refreshed and sutured in layers to restore a smooth, natural contour. For stretched or gauged earlobes, the excess tissue is removed and the earlobe is reconstructed from the remaining tissue. The procedure is carried out as a day case and most patients return to work the same day or the following day.
Earlobe repair is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not routinely available on the NHS. It is carried out privately in the vast majority of cases. Patients who wish to have their earlobe repaired promptly, by a consultant surgeon, in a dedicated day-surgery facility choose to have the procedure performed privately. At 101 Harley Street, your treatment cost is confirmed at consultation following an assessment of the extent of repair required.
Earlobe repair does involve suturing, so some degree of scarring is expected. However, when performed by an experienced surgeon, the repair is designed to leave a fine, discreet scar that blends naturally with the contours of the earlobe. In the majority of patients the scar becomes very difficult to detect within several weeks to months of surgery as healing progresses. Your surgeon will provide full scar care guidance as part of your post-operative plan.
Most patients can re-pierce the repaired earlobe after a minimum of 3 to 6 months, once the tissue has fully healed and the scar has matured. It is generally recommended to pierce in a slightly different position to avoid the scar tissue from the repair. Your surgeon at 101 Harley Street will confirm the appropriate timing at your post-operative review based on how your healing has progressed.
Yes. Where both earlobes require repair, both can be treated in a single appointment at 101 Harley Street. The procedure typically takes 20 to 40 minutes in total and is performed under local anaesthetic as a day case. Your surgeon will assess both earlobes at consultation and confirm the plan for your appointment.
Yes. Once the earlobe has fully healed usually after 6–8 weeks you can safely re-pierce the ear. Your surgeon will advise on timing and placement.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain. Mild tenderness afterward is normal and short-lived.
Most patients heal within 4–6 weeks, with stitches removed around one week after surgery.
Results are long-lasting. With proper care and avoiding heavy earrings, the repair should remain stable for many years.
