Asked By:cariz8 in Flushing, NY

just want a smaller earlobe, cutting it half its size.I feel like i can do the procedure myself with scissors. Just cutting it in a half and patching it up lol. Im just worried about the healing process. I Dont have gages, or a stretched hole because of earrings. Its just a personal preference of mine that i would like done. I have a normal size earlobe i guess you can say. So yaa.. how much, where can i get it done and will it look normal after cutting a piece off.
