Earrings after earlobe reduction? (Photo)

tracey9502
I was born with naturally larger earlobes. I’d like to get them reduced. My current piercings are not torn or stretched by any means it’s only a personal improvement I’d like to make to reduce the overall size. After I heal post earlobe reduction surgery can I go back to wearing large hoops again? Or will my lobe always be too weak for anything beyond stubs? Or if I pierce in an area from the incision line will it be as strong as my natural lobes are now?? Thanks!
