Asked By:Francish31 in Los Angeles, CA

I had surgery recently about 4-5 weeks ago. I had stretched my ears to about 1" 1/4 so I had them closed cause I wanted the smiliar look but with a smaller gauge. Is this possible? I know its not recommended , but I was wondering if I did do this would the risk be great or no?
