basically I've just turned 16 and can't afford surgery, I was just wondering if there was anyway to make the hole gradually smaller over time, surely there must be a way?

Answer: Shrinking a gauged ear lobe Thank you for your picture. Unfortunately, there is not a non-surgical method to shrink a gauged ear lobe. Surgery is the only method of correction.

Answer: Earlobe No im sorry. Earlobe repair is a very common procedure. Frequently, we have patients who will have the procedure done the same day as the consultation. Typically, the cost is between $450-850 per earlobe, depending on the severity and the length of the procedure.You may be able to find a doctor who will do this under insurance but i am not aware of any.The length of time the ears have been gauged should have no effect on the procedure. As long as the tissue is no longer irritated or inflamed, there is no reason not to give it a try. Gauged ears are sometimes more difficult than some other earlobe repairs since the tissue is so over stretched, but we are still able to create a natural looking earlobe. You can get your ear re pierced about 6 weeks after and should be included in the pricing. Shop around in your area and see if you can find a plastic surgeon in your budget
