What is the procedure to get a Monroe Piercing hole less noticeable? (photos)

June 2, 2014
Asked By:LaurenR in Miami, FL

I have had a monroe piercing for 4 years and I took it off 4 years ago. So the hole I still have in my face is there to stay. I am not interested in getting it sutured because i am afraid the vertical scar would be worse. I heard that if i get it re-pierced in the same hole, and take out the jewelery right after, the hole would shrink and probably heal more nicely as the skin tunel would be gone. I am not looking for a perfect result, just want it to be less deep and less noticeable. Thank you!
