Liner Posted October 30, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I have ripped ear lobes (thanks, son!!) and I have found a product to use so I can wear wires again instead of just post style pierced earrings. EarLlift is invisible ear lobe support tape. I bought them at Bed, Bath and Beyond. There is also a website .. Earlift dot com. The product works great for me!!

JolieMadam Posted October 30, 2007 #3 Share Posted October 30, 2007 This is so coincidental! Have just been to the plastic surgeon to discuss getting my second earlobe surgically repaired. When my ears were first pierced, the hole was not placed correctly...it looked OK in the front but in back the hole was very close to the tip of the lobe. Through the years the hole kept getting bigger until it nearly tore completely. Had it surgically repaired and repierced but ibetween the two procedures, it was about 6 months before I was able to wear an earring. Now the other ear needs the same thing. I don't understand how this happens but it is very common according to the doctor. I also have never worn any earrings that were not extremely lightweight and I do not sleep with them on. I picked up a pamphlet in his office about this tape to use on the ear and will be sure to use it from here on. Thanks for calling our attention to this helpful product.

La Gitana Posted October 31, 2007 #5 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I heard about EarLifts not long ago and have ordered some from Amazon. I just have aging sagging earlobes. I hope they work--I have some nice earrings I haven't been wearing much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newenglander58 Posted November 11, 2007 #11 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I also have a sagging earlobe on 1 side - thatnks for big earrings of the '80's and DS!! Thanks for the tip - I'll definitely look for Earlifts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphna101 Posted November 12, 2007 #12 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Yep, I have one of those as well. But I did wear heavy earrings as a teenager too. Even made holes in seashells and hung them. I usually use a big round backing in addition to the normal backing and it works good, and assures that I wont loose the earring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Anne Posted November 12, 2007 #13 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Your dermatologist just might do the repair - mine did, a great job and was only $300 for the fix. Had to wear tiny post earrings for about 6 weeks but I'm now back to normal. Nobody should have to go through life with a ripped lobe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
