Unfortunately, gauge holes in the earlobe don't heal on their own. With time, they may decrease a small amount in size, but don't close. Closure of these holes can be done quite well under local anesthetic in a 20 minute procedure. I would suggest discussing the procedure with a board certified plastic surgeon near you.Best of luck!Regards,
Your stretched earlobe holes will shrink considerably over several weeks.However, they will not close completely.Definitely meet with a board certified plastic surgeon who has experience closing stretched earlobes.The procedure is performed under a local anesthetic and results are excellent.
