Re-stretching torn lobes
Question:
Hi, I had my lobe at 20mm a couple of months ago, and took the jewellry out till the tear had healed. It looks pretty well healed now, so I tried putting jewellrey back in and managed to get a 12mm tunel in with no pain or feeling of "tightness" that usually comes with a new stretching. So waht I was wondering is, has anyone else torn a lovbe then re-stretched it, and how well did it go, cos Id like to get it back to 20mm again ideally. Thanks in advance.

Hi Steve, I removed my lobe loops in March 95 (I was at that time wearing tunnels made from plastic 35mm film cases!) and they were in a rough shape – my right was too conical in shape and my left was wearing thin in places and in danger of snapping (I think due to snipping the flesh between smaller piercings to get a bigger hole rather than more gradual stretching). I have recently been able to wear pretty big and heavy jewellery (>00 gauge 1/4lb circular barbell) in both lobes a temporary basis after only a few days’ stretching. I experienced the same tightness as when unstretched but to a lesser extent and I must confess that they weren’t as confortable as when they were "permanent". I’m sure you’ll get up to 20mm again with gradual increments and suitable "resting" periods. Get stuck in lad! UnFormat P.S. has anyone "repaired" a lobe loop by cutting the inner surface and stitching the edges together? I’ve been thinking about this for a long time as I would like to develop loops in the future but my existing loops remain – and are too thin in places. I’m running out of lobe!!
