    Surgery to remove an ear piercing
    I have had my ears pierced for 5 years and I want to get rid of one of the holes. There is nothing abnormal about it (no tearing, stretching), I just want it gone. Where can I find info about surgery/procedures for this?

    I am NOT looking for earlobe repair surgery.

    Have you used stretchers or just normal earring?

    I have had my ears peirced for over 10 years and even now you can hardly see the holes when I am not wearing earrings.
    My mother has not worn earrings for several years and her holes have closed/shrunk so much that she cannot get an earring through and you cannot see the hole at all.

    Basically: have you given your ears TIME to shrink the hole?

    I agree with Shaz, soon you will not know the hole was there.
