I've noticed my ear piercing has been stretching. (photo)

Thanks for your question - it's one we hear often from women who've worn earrings for years, especially large or heavy earrings. In the short-term, you can switch to studs or lightweight earrings in order to avoid further stretching of the piercing. A simple and quick non-surgical option includes using a dermal filler (like Juvederm or Restylane) or a patient's own fat, to fill the area around the ear piercing in order to tighten the pierced hole and add more support. Treatment takes less than 10 minutes and can last for 12 months. 

If the piercings become too large and unsightly, an ear lobe repair is an office procedure with no downtime. Re-piercing is performed three months later at an area in front of, or behind the scar. Re-piercing on the scar will nearly always lead to a failed closure. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

YOU MIGHT BE WEARING TOO HEAVY OF EARRINGS AND SHOULD TRY TO WEAR SOMETHING LIGHTER. HOOPS HAVE A TENDENCY TO STRETCH, PULL, OR SPLIT YOUR EARLOBES.
