The surgery would have to be done by a qualified plastic surgeon. Piercers cannot legally do it, no. This applies to most, if not all, countries around the world.

Thanks for stopping by. Much appreciated mate.

When you wish to shrink your lobes it is better to scale down the jewelry as it helps the lobes to retain their shape whilst they shrink and heal. If you remove the jewelry altogether and leave it out, the lobes will heal up misshapen and end up permanently deformed.

The pain of ear stretching is not as bad as you would think, well if it is done correctly. If care is not taken, yes it can be very painful!

The best way to prevent infection is to cleanse it daily whilst you are stretching. Either use a piercing aftercare solution or saline solution (warm salty water).

Thanks for your input.

Glad to hear your friend had success with this treatment method. It usually does work.

If this method did not work a doctor or piercer should be able to help you out with some kind of cream to use. To be totally honest, I’m not really sure there is all that much they can do for a blowout.

Thanks very much! This style of piercing has actually been around of thousands of years. It is thought to have come from a tribal background. Many African, Eurasian and American tribes would practice ear and lip stretching rituals, some still do to this day!

I hope this answers your question.

Question though- if the downsizing method did not work, what would a doctor or the piercer be able to do? What would the next suggested course of treatment be?
