Do stretched earlobes ever completely heal up and stop smelling?
I want to stretch my earlobes but the only thing stopping me is that I don't want the smell. If I stretched them up to about 16mm over the course of a year and cleaned them thoroughly, did salt soaks and rubbed them with vitamin E oil everyday, would they eventually heal up and permanently stop smelling? If so, how long will it take?

Mine don't smell, but that's just me.
They should only smell when you take them out to clean them, and if you're gonna do that every day then you shouldn't have a problem.
And its not ugly or unattractive, as said above. I love mine, and no, you don't need surgery to fix them. They grow back, they shrink after awhile. I took my tapers out for 2 or 3 days and they hurt to put back in.

I don't think they ever stop smelling cause I was done stretching mine a year ago and they still smell, I mean it's not like they smell all the time, it only happens when you take them out and if you touch them your fingers will be stinky :P
So no need to worry about people smelling your stinky plugs lol unless you take them out around people.

They will probably still have bad smelly stages but if you keep them as clean as you say you will and stretch patiently/properly you should be fine :D

If you do just a small gauge thats not too bad...But they are very unattractive and gross looking. My friend did it to her ears...she got fired from her job because it was unprofessional. Point is Don't do it. one its painful and 2 it's just not attractive.

Please don't it is not clever or attractive. When you are older it needs surgery to repair them.
If they do smell why would anyone want to be near you?
