Dr. Wiesman will discuss your concerns and the results you want to achieve to improve the look of your earlobes. Depending on your needs, your treatment plan may include a cosmetic filler or a minor office procedure.

Other Ear Procedures
Specializing in surgeries of the ears, Dr. Wiesman offers several other procedures as well, including:
- Eardrum Surgery: Reconstructive surgery for eardrums that have been torn from infection or trauma. This can help improve hearing or prevent middle ear infections.
- Ear Fluid Removal: Fluid is removed from the middle ear, which is often the result of allergies or infection. A small tube may be inserted to allow the ear to drain. This can help relieve pressure from chronic buildup.
- Hearing Loss Surgery: The middle ear bones are removed and replaced with a prosthesis to improve sound movements in the inner ear. This helps reverse progressive hearing loss caused by hardening of the bones in the ear.
- Ear Infection Treatment: An infected portion of the mastoid bone is removed when other treatments are ineffective. Now, modern antibiotics make the need for this surgery rare, but it is effective to prevent the infection from spreading.
