What Causes a Split Earlobe?
Several factors can lead to a split earlobe, including:
- Trauma: Injury from accidents or pulling on earrings.
- Heavy Earrings: Prolonged use of heavy earrings can gradually tear the earlobe.
- Infections: Severe infections or poorly healed piercings.
- Aging: The skin loses elasticity with age, making it more prone to tearing
Characteristics of Split Earlobe:
Visible Tear: The earlobe has a noticeable split or tear.
Discomfort: May cause pain or sensitivity in the affected area.
Impact on Appearance: Can lead to self-consciousness due to the visible alteration in the earlobe.
Difficulty Wearing Earrings: Makes it challenging to wear earrings, especially studs.
How Can You Treat a Split Earlobe?
A surgical procedure to stitch the split earlobe back together, often performed under local anaesthesia.

The staff at the Clinic are all very helpful and professional. I am grateful to the team for spotting changes to a couple of moles since my previous mole mapping which I was advised to have removed. This was done very efficiently by Mr Jonathan Dunne. One of which was actually a melanoma in situ so I’m very lucky to have visited you!
Thank you
Thank you
I have now had two visits to the Montrose Mole Mapping clinic. Both were wonderful experiences and I recommend others visiting
The mole mapping service and the clinic as a whole has been incredible to work with! Super thorough but efficient process for identifying and monitoring moles over time, and it takes the constant guesswork away for someone who has many moles to keep track of. Very seamless process with my insurance provider as well. Would highly recommend Montrose!
Super helpful dr and receptionist - beautiful flowers too!
Incredible pregnancy-safe facial. I had the Hydra Facial and everything was explained throughly and it was extremely relaxing too. Highly recommend.
Quite a disappointing experience. I had booked a 30 minute appointment for 12:30 and had to ask the receptionist at 12:45 regarding the delay who’s assured me that the doctor would not be much longer. Proactivity from the receptionist would have been courteous. I was finally taken in by the doctor at 12:50 who was lovely.
Overall a disappointing experience, sterile and cold enough environment made bearable only by the maximalist decor. No serenity as portrayed in marketing features ie. Lack of music As a director within a private healthcare setting, very poor customer experience and not one I will be recommending to our own clientele.
I was advised if unhappy with results in 2 weeks to come back for a top up but work restrictions meant I did not attend for 4 weeks but was told that this was chargeable: disappointing again with lack of appreciation or flexibility for working professionals. No follow up provided or courtesy call as is often given at alternative aesthetic clinics.

I highly recommend Montrose London. The friendliness of the staff is supreme. My dermatologist's professionalism is unbeatable - I really felt listened to. The ambiance of the office is very comfortable and relaxing. Number one in my eyes!
