What is a slot ear lobe repair?

A bifid or slot ear lobe occurs when the lobe is split by a notch or cleft between two portions. These issues can arise from several causes. While a congenital cleft earlobe is one of these reasons, the most common cause of this is secondary to a complication after an ear piercing, particularly among heavier piercings. When an earlobe tears, a cleft or split earlobe will develop. 

Earlobe repair is a very common procedure that’s largely safe and only has minimal risks. It aims to restore a single ear lobe with a natural contour.
