Abstract
Traumatic earlobe cleft refers to a split or torn earlobe. 1.2 It is the most common acquired earlobe deformity. 3,4 Traumatic earlobe clefts result from wearing heavy earrings. 5,6 The problem may be a complication of torn-out earrings or a result of an earlobe being pierced too low for an earring. 4 Multiple techniques have been described for repairing this deformity. 1-6 The objectives are to repair the split earlobe, to avoid notching of the rim, and to preserve or recreate the earlobe perforation. We describe a simple technique that accomplishes the first two objectives.
