Question:
When I was younger I thought plugs were cool and I stretched my ear lobes so much that now the holes hang and won’t close. Can they be made smaller and will I still be able to wear earrings? Answer:
I have had only a couple of patients request earlobe reconstruction after stretching them out. It can be a difficult procedure if they are stretched excessively, and it can result in a smaller earlobe. I close the earlobe hole completely, and it takes a couple of months for the scar tissue to soften. I do not see any contraindications for repiercing the ear after it has healed from the procedure. |
