Bifid, or split earlobes, can be corrected via local wedge excision and closure. This is a minor procedure that can be done in an office setting, and patients typically heal within a week. Ears can be re-pierced several months later. Patients are discouraged from wearing anything other than posts after repair.

As always, discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
