Earlobe gauge repairs
Call a few plastic surgeons in your area. Any good plastic surgeon can accomplish the repair, but you will find that the price varies quite a bit. There are not many procedures where it is okay to shop price, but this is one exception. You should be able to get it done for 250 to $350 per side. Good luck!

Check with the American Board of Plastic Surgeons and/or and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons for appropriate training and credentials. Then, make sure you see lots of examples of the surgeons work in pictures ( better yet meet with patients who have had similar procedures).

Many facial plastic and general plastic surgeons will be able to assist you.
Earlobe surgery is so very common, that most surgeons do not even bother to market for it. This may lead you to think they do not offer the service. If you are not sure who to go to in your area, consider asking your family doctor for a referral.

Ear repair
Ear gauges stretch the ear lobes and can make it difficult to repair. I have done a number of these. I usually have patients remove the gauges for 6-8 weeks before repairing the ears. Good luck.
