Is there any way to fix a thin part of my earlobe? I have both of my earlobes stretched to 7/16 of an inch. (photos)

Earlobe surgery is composed of several techniques that can either repair torn earlobes (split earlobes) or correct overly redundant earlobe tissue from piercings or genetics or stretching. Our HIDEF earlobe repair includes a recontouring of the earlobe contour using multilayered sutures to reapproximate the curvature of the earlobe; while simultaneously restoring contour to the ear. In patients with pixie ears after facelift surgery, an alternate technique is used to reduce the dependance of the earlobe on the facelift flap. Facelift surgery can reshape the earlobe and this requires restoration. Sutures are usually taken out within 10 days and the wound is repierced in 4-6 weeks thereafter. Keloid scars must be addressed in patients with known history for scarring.

It would really not be possible to do surgery to make the thin part of your gauged earlobe thicker and still have you wear gauges, as it would put too much stress on the tissue and cause it to tear again.  It would be possible to close the holes, but you would not be able to re-gauge them again.  

Repairing the earlobe is fairly straightforward, and can be done in office under local. I would encourage you to reconsider dilating the earlobes, as it will test the tissues and can result in additional surgery being required to restore the natural shape of you ear.
