Non acute split ear lobe repair/refashioning

Not funded

Repair of split ear lobes is deemed to be cosmetic and does not meet the principles laid out in this policy

National guidance is provided by the NHS modernisation agency’s information for commissioners of plastic surgery services where it is recommended that repair of external ear lobes is only available on the NHS for the repair of totally split earlobes as a result of direct trauma
