Will stretched earlobes heal after having them stretched for a long time?
I had my ears stretched to about a 5/8' for 3 years now and i was just wondering if the longer i have them in...the less chance of them healing properly if i decide to take them out?

hahaha thats so funny emzarr?? If you stretched them properly, the best chance you have of them closing. damage is damage but if you stretched the right way you stand a good chance of them closing, If and when you decide to take them out. I had a friend who stretched to 2" and his closed to about a 00g. Anythings possible everybody is different. Good Luck.

At 5/8 inch for 3 years, there is only a very tiny chance that the earlobe will return to "normal". At these larger sizes, the body has actually produced more tissue at the bottom of the earlobe, and that won't go away. I find also that the longer the ear is stretched, the more tissue is produced, so it does become more permanent with time. However, by 3 years, any further such changes are unlikely.
Regardless, it will shrink down quite a bit, and 5/8 inch isn't really all that big. Mine are 1 1/2 inches, and they haven't hindered my career, and I have no intention of removing them.

you mean if they'll return to the state they were before you had them stretched? no, that wont happen, the damage is done, it's like a scar.

Hydrogen peroxide & rubbing alcohol will help close the hole up better.

Sorry but no. Your ears will be stretched forever now.
That's why I laugh at people who have stretchers in.
