Earlobe Stretching | Gauging and will they close on their own by Dr. Philip Young of Bellevue Seattle:
Question: Earlobe Stretching and will they close on their own and do I need surgery for this?
Stretched earlobes will not shrink and close on their own but earlobe plastic surgery will correct it. This depends on what was done and how long and how much the earlobe was stretched. It is very small like 1-2mm wide it could. But most likely you will need some surgical repair of the earlobe to make a difference. I prefer to close the hole completely and then repierce the ear at a later date, 3-6 months later. The surgery can be done under local or oral or IV sedation. We have a live video demo below and more information on our website!
