According toLeaf, the first step is to give your earlobes a chance to heal on their own.

Remove your earrings and allow the elasticity in your skin to kill the hole as much as it can.

In this case, visit a plastic surgeon’s office.

Here, they may recommend one of several types of procedures.

If the holes are small enough, they might attempt a repair using a punch tool, according toSELF.

This is a small unit that punches a hole just slightly larger than the dimensions of the piercing hole.

But if that solution does not suffice, there are other options for correcting this problem.

Again, the edges of the wound will heal into one earlobe (viaSELF).

The procedure is done under local anesthesia and usually takes about 15 minutes to an hour, according toAllure.

On the bright side, it is possible to have your ears pierced again after reconstruction.

Talk to your doctor, who may do piercing themselves to provide the best outcome.
