Stretched ears. Surgery the only way to correct this? Will surgery involve cutting into my ear or can it just be sewn?

My ears were stretched up to 7/16ths of an inch for a week, but I spent a while at 3/8ths of an inch as well (00g) and now I have been trying to downsize for two months. Should I wait longer before pursuing surgery to reconstruct my ears? Also, because the holes are now so small, would the surgery have to involve cutting the earlobe in half and sewing it around again - is there a procedure where the hole can just be sewn together, because the hole never augmented the natural size of my earlobe.
