That it will require a few a stiches, if you want them completely closed and may have some scarring You could try vitamin E oil and massage and putting in smaller jewelry or gauge in, as they shrink put another smaller gauge, but this way takes a few months and never gets all the way closed.

First step in reversal process is stop wearing gauges or heavy earrings. Shrinkage is gradual, but not a complete closure. Reversal depends on your age and how long the ear has been stretched. Also if tissues were stretched too far and damaged. Plastic surgery or reconstruction is option.

I wouls consult a medical professional for this information. Upon consulting a medical professional, I would ask the following questions: Is surgery required for closing stretched ears? How much will it cost to perform this procedure? Will return my ears back to their original look and will I be able to pierce my ears?

It is found that using a firming cream works great. The same cream used around the eyes can be used for your ears also. There is also a surgery called octoplasty. It is the creation of an incision in your ear lobe.
