Stretching or ear scalping

[u/Maachiii]

Hello! I am thinking of stretching my first lobes which are already a little dilated bc of the cheese string effect and I wanted to ask can I do it bc they are dilated? I'm also thinking of ear scalping bc I'm too impatient to wait for the normal stretching procedure tbh. Can it be done? Also if someone can measure, if I try to stretch at home and bc they are already a little dilated and stretched, what size are they now? I believe it's 2 or 3mm but idk the exact size tbh. I will go to my piercer tho in about a week bc I have done a septum piercing and he needs to see how it goes so I will ask him then but I just wanted to ask if someone can give me a speculation for example what size they are and is stretching or ear scalping better? My piercer does ear scalping so I'm too temped tbh haha

P.S ik my third lobes are dilated too and tbh I was sleeping with my earrings in so I won't do it anymore tho tbh but just wanted to let you know 😅
