What is Ear Lobe Repair Surgery?

This surgical ear repair is typically performed under local anesthesia and takes less than an hour in most cases.

- 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.

When the slab suddenly fell on us while we were sleeping on the floor at midnight, I was terrified. But your calm words, gentle approach, and encouragement made me feel safe and hopeful. You not only treated my injuries—you healed my fear too. I will always recommend you, not just for your skill, but for the compassion you show.

Dr. Bharat Saxena is exceptionally passionate about his work, approaching it with the dedication of someone who truly worships his profession. Meeting him changed my perspective on how compassionate and humble a doctor can be, especially in a country like India, where human life often isn’t valued as it should be. In these times, Dr. Saxena stands out, treating his patients with the utmost respect, care, and compassion. I am profoundly grateful to Dr. Saxena for the way he treated my father during his mouth cancer surgery. He assured us that my father’s face would look flawless after the procedure, and true to his word, no one can tell that he underwent surgery. My entire family is indebted to his care and professionalism. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors and pray that his passion for his work continues to shine.
