It’s time for a serious job interview.
But you have a serious hole in your head.
Specifically, a gaping chasm where your ear lobe used to be.
What to do?
You might call Morristown Dr. Brian Glatt, suggests MSNBC.com.
The board-certified plastic surgeon specializes in repairing effects of “ear gauging”– a body-piercing technique that stretches a hole for jewelry.
According to the article, Dr. Glatt is seeing a lot of young men who gauged their ears as teens and now regret it:
Glatt says he essentially has to reconstruct the whole earlobe. He cuts around the hole — “you’re almost taking out the core,” he explains. Then he slices the earlobe into two pieces, trims away excess skin and sews the pieces back together. He says the surgery leaves a scar down the earlobe right to the edge of the lobe.
Some patients hide this scar with–you guessed it–an earring.
