What is Ear Lobe Repair Surgery?

- Stretched lobes from gauge piercings or tribal modifications
- Cosmetic correction of asymmetrical or drooping lobes
Techniques Used
- Simple excision and re-approximation for minor splits
- Flap techniques for elongated or stretched lobes
- Z-plasty method to prevent notching or scarring and improve aesthetic healing outcomes.
- Bilateral ear lobe correction for symmetry and balanced, natural-looking ear contours.

He provided clear instructions, made the admission process smooth, and took the time to answer all of our questions without ever making us feel rushed.

I had a very good experience with Dr. Bharat. The doctor explained the procedure clearly, post procedure results with honesty, answered all my questions patiently, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. The surgery went smoothly, and I really appreciated the doctor's knowledge, care, and support.Posted on Google Jogendra Nath KunduTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an incredible experience with Dr. Bharat Saxena. My mother was dealing with a highly complex, recurrent post-APR perineal hernia (severe pelvic floor deformation) following her rectal cancer surgery. After a previous hernia surgery failed in Delhi, we were very anxious. I initially reached out to Dr. Saxena with her case, and he was super supportive right from the start. His quick and reassuring responses gave us the confidence to arrange my parents' travel from Odisha to Mumbai. During the consultation, he clearly explained the entire process and did not hesitate to perform the right, complex reconstructive surgery (a VRAM with a VY Gluteal flap), which is shown to have good success for this rare condition. As a plastic surgeon, his expertise in pelvic floor reconstruction is unmatched. Beyond his brilliant surgical skills, he is super approachable, incredibly supportive, and provides absolutely great post-surgery care. Thank you so much, Dr. Saxena, for taking on this complex case and giving our family peace of mind!Posted on Google Vineet UpadhyayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The entire experience, from consultation to surgery, was handled with great professionalism, compassion, and reassurance. A special thanks to anaesthetic specialist Dr. Bhatti, whose calm and caring approach made us feel confident and comfortable throughout the procedure. The suture surgery was performed smoothly and with great precision, and the care shown towards our child and family meant a lot to us. Thank you so much.Posted on Google Kashish SinghTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
