Will a 7/16 ear gauge close?
usually peoples ears will close the highest point usually being a 0g and sometimes a 00g if u want to be able to close them , stop now , if you wanna go ahead and want to close them in the future you will have to have them stitched up EDIT: ohh and yeh its possible to size up using plugs but the acrylic ones tht are squishy , thats the safest way to do it using plugs ,OR you can get tapers that have threaded plugs on the end of them so when you size up you just unscrew the taper at the end of the stretch and put the end of the plug on :D hope i helped ? :)
How can i keep my ears (gauges) from closing because of sports?
well considering how long you have been at the size you are at they may nto close that fast, take them out right before youre game or competition, and then put them back in after, but be careful cause you dont want to tear them. also how big have you gotten up to? if they are still small they will close faster, but a few hours of bigger ones out will just require a little spin to put them back in so no worries. if you have tapers still put the size below what u are back in after a game and if they spin all the way slide in your actuall size, you can do the same thing if you have plugs. sorry they wont let you tape them. :( lame.
What size ear gauges close all the way up?
everyone's ears are different ! my sister had hers gauged to a two, and they never fully closed up. i think they are currently fourteens now. which isn't big. but my ex had his gauged all the way to 00 and his ears shrunk all the way back to 18's. so the only way to find out is just go to your 1/2 inches and see how small they shrink. most people say that a size two is the point of no return which i think is a lie cause everyone's ears are completely different. so their is no absolute answer for your question except to find out and see.
A Solution to Closing Gauged Ears?
I've had my ears gauged up to a 5/8 and now I'm ready to close them up for good. I have been downsizing for 2 years and have been unable to get them smaller than around a 4g or 2g. I thought of an idea and apparently others have tried it too but a bit differently: Using sandpaper to tear away a layer of skin inside the lobe, let that heal, and then repeat. I started the first wave tonight and it was pretty painful; probably equally painful as gauging but less climatic. I have no means of loading pictures right now but eventually I will post pics or a video of the process to help others who have grown out of the ear gauging phase as I have and want to heal up them lobes without the surgery. What I have done so far is: Purchased a sheet of 100 grain sandpaper and cut a small slice off. I then wrapped the sandpaper slice around the end of a pencil using an O-ring to secure the paper in place. I inserted the sandpaper end in the ear lobe and rotated until i noticed that the layer of skin began to tear. I stopped at this point and I will be letting the skin heal overnight. I may possibly give it another go tomorrow or wait till the next night. Any advice or questions, just shoot. Thanks.
How long does it take for 00 gauge stretched ears to close? And can I repierce them with a regular piercing afterwards?
You aren't going to like this.Short answer is, they will not close permanently and you will not be able to get them pierced again with a normal gauge jewelry as the hole will still be there.Best case scenario, your ears close up enough to wear normal earrings such as studs.Worse case scenario, you'll be seeing a body mod specialist or plastic surgeon to have your ears reconstructed.Never stretch unless you are ready to make a full life commitment or have about $800 upwards to have them fixed by a reputable person.
How long does it take 00 gauge stretched ears to close?
That's difficult to gauge (haha), as healing differs for everyone. Fortunately 00 gauge is certainly big, but not huge when compared with other ear projects. You're looking at perhaps 3 to 4 months, or a few months more, depending on how fast of a healer you are. A very slow healer, like someone who is chronically ill, (like me), could take closer to a year. I'm pretty sure the first estimate, maybe a month longer, is how long it took my brother's 00 ears to heal.I can't guarantee that in the end they will close completely, nor look like regular ear lobes. My brother's closed completely, but it's obvious looking at him that he stretched his ears. Again, having a smaller gauge to close, relatively speaking, will benefit you. It will probably be noticeable, but your lobes won't be terribly disfigured. They might have some of that "bunched-up skin" look. But there are no promises. You may heal perfectly, you may have odd lobes. There are plastic surgeons who do correct this, although of course this is elective surgery and costly. But really, fuck the critics. All our ears look different these days.Help your ears along by keeping them clean. If that's not enough and you want to micromanage your healing, look online for diets for healing. They aim to give the body nutrients it needs to recover; just like if you were healing from a broken arm or prolonged sickness. I personally feel a regular healthy diet works just fine, but there are those out there a bit more intense than I.
Will a 1 inch ear gauge close up?
Well, my ears are stretched up to 1 3/8 inches, and they will shrink down to 7/8 after a few days, maybe 3/4 inch if left out for longer (but I generally don't want them to shrink). If you're thinking that you're not going to want them forever, please don't stretch them further. I made a conscious decision many years ago to stretch them (well before they ever started to become a fad) and have no plans to close them up. They really should be considered a permanent modification. That said, there are minor surgical procedures that can reverse them with virtually no visible scars. But at 1 inch, just taking them out won't do it.
Help! Closing stretched ears!?
At that size, there's no way to completely close your ears, and please don't try anything involving sandpaper. They will likely shrink down to around 1/2 inch. Stretching earlobes is an ancient practice and has always been seen as permanent. It is not supposed to be a fad. You can consult with a plastic surgeon regarding reconstructive options; I've heard that it's not too expensive these days.
What size ear gauge will allow the piercing to close?
you can consider anything a plug if you like there isnt a specific size. i've closed up my 7/16 but it all depends how patient you were with your stretches. if you did them fast the chances of them fully closing are slim opposed to if you did it slow and they should close up just fine.
How long does it take for 4 gauge ear piercing to close?
How fast a piercing closes up is going to vary dramatically from person to person. It depends on how long you've had the piercing, how long it's been stretched, what method you used to stretch, if you've ever torn the piercing, how long you waited between stretches... Properly stretched ears are much more likely to close up, so I hope for your ears' sake that you did everything right (i.e. no skipped sizes, at least 1-2 months between stretches, no blowouts/tears). If you want the holes to close up faster, stop wearing jewelry and start massaging them daily with something like emu oil (you can also use Vitamin E oil or jojoba oil). There is no guarantee that your ears will ever go back to normal - what a lot of people forget is that stretching should be considered a PERMANENT modification and the "point of no return" is different for everyone.
