The procedure involves excising the excess skin and tissue and meticulously reshaping the earlobe to achieve a balanced appearance. Performed under local anesthesia, it has a relatively quick recovery period with minimal pain. The outcome is immediately noticeable, offering a long-lasting improvement in earlobe aesthetics.
