WHAT ARE EARLOBE FILLERS?
Pretty ears have always been in style. From statement earrings to studs, we always like to make our ears look pretty. However, what happens when our ears start to droop? Or, when signs of old age show not just on your face, but also on your ears? Dermatologists and anti-aging specialists have dominated the face, neck, and chest areas of the body, so aging does not have to show. The only next obvious area to start is the ears. Here at WellMedica, we provide earlobe fillers or ear rejuvenation by injecting dermal fillers to the earlobe with no downtime.
IS EARLOBE FILLER RIGHT FOR ME?
Of course, you’ve probably heard of facial fillers that work to smooth over fine lines and add volume to give a more youthful look to patients. However, for those that are concerned about their earlobes, we have been using earlobe fillers for years. It’s a quick, in-office fix that provides instant results. This beauty trend has become increasingly popular across the country and can help women to feel more confident and beautiful. Individuals use earlobe fillers to smooth out the lines and creases and minimize the appearance of large piercings that can become unappealing over time.
Types of fillers used include Juvederm®, Restylane®, Belotero®, Radiesse®, Sculptra®, and Bellafill®. Which filler Dr. Dima Ali will recommend for you depends on your condition and desired outcomes. Therefore, we encourage everyone to come in for a consultation with our doctor to create a customized treatment plan based on their needs.
One reason for ears to sag more so than others is if you are guilty of wearing heavy earrings. Heavy earrings can stretch out the earlobes so much that they are far beyond repair using anti-aging cream to reverse the effect. Luckily, fillers help protect ears from heavy earrings and can actually prevent delicate lobes from ripping with extra cushioning. Another reason for sagging ears is, of course, aging. Like our face and neck, with time, our skin starts to sag.
HOW MANY SYRINGES WILL I NEED?
The number of syringes you will need will depend greatly on your age and amount of volume loss or sagginess you are experiencing.
HOW MUCH DO EARLOBE FILLERS COST?
The cost starts at $650–$900 per syringe. This can really vary widely based on the type of dermal filler Dr. Dima Ali chooses for your individual needs.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT BEFORE AND AFTER EARLOBE FILLER TREATMENT?
Earlobe fillers are a very quick procedure, usually taking around 5 to 10 minutes. Fillers are virtually painless, but if worried, a topical anesthetic can be applied to the area prior to treatment. Many patients state that, during treatment, they don’t even know they are being injected and it’s “over before you know it.” Results are immediate, and ears should feel firmer and thicker and look brand new. Dermal filler results last longer in the earlobes because there is no dynamic muscle movement in them like in the face. However, we recommend touch-ups throughout the year to keep your desired look.
A few hours after treatment, patients are able to wear earrings normally. One may experience some redness, swelling, or bruising after injection, which is totally normal. This should only last a few days.
ARE EARLOBE FILLERS SAFE?
Fillers are safe when an expert physician with the right qualifications is the one injecting patients. Here at WellMedica, Dr. Dima Ali does all injections and dermal fillers, and is considered an “expert injector.” Expert injectors are physicians who have undergone extensive training in performing injectable procedures. Dr. Dima Ali has been injecting fillers into the earlobes for years and has received fabulous results. Many describe Dr. Dima as an “artist” when she injects, as she looks at cosmetics and aesthetics as an art form.
