Can I close normal earring holes that are too high? (Photo)

It is possible to close these small openings, but likely not necessary. If you go without earrings for a long enough period, these holes should close on their own and you can pierce your ear lower on the earlobe likely without consequence. Surgically closing the superior (upper) hole will leave excess scar tissue and could complicate further piercing attempts.

Earlobe surgery is composed of several techniques that can either repair torn earlobes (split earlobes) or correct overly redundant earlobe tissue from piercings or genetics or stretching. Our HIDEF earlobe repair includes a recontouring of the earlobe contour using multilayered sutures to reapproximate the curvature of the earlobe; while simultaneously restoring contour to the ear. In patients with pixie ears after facelift surgery, an alternate technique is used to reduce the dependance of the earlobe on the facelift flap. Facelift surgery can reshape the earlobe and this requires restoration. Sutures are usually taken out within 10 days and the wound is repierced in 4-6 weeks thereafter. Keloid scars must be addressed in patients with known history for scarring.

From your picture it appears that you should have an excellent opportunity to remove that piercing site under local anesthesia and after an appropriate time, get a new piercing done.  Best wishes.  WirthPlasticSurgery.com
