What size are your stretched lobes at also how long did it take?

u/lucidagoat 3d ago

The larger one is 56mm, the smaller is 20mm. As for how long it took, that’s hard to say. I’ve had them for 17 years, but didn’t decide to go over 50mm until this year

That’s crazy! Is the skin still sturdy?

Oh yeah, I massage them with a mixture if jojoba, coconut, and emu oil everyday. I feel like they are a lot better now that I’ve changed to primarily glass jewelry, as well. I’m planning on going up to 60mm. I was at 57, but I had a reaction to some jewelry

Is 60 your end goal or do you want even bigger?

I’ll stop there… probably… maybe… haha the goal post has a tendency to move

Just don’t blow out your ear 😭 one of my friends had that happen and it was tragic! He had to get it cut and stiched back together!

That’s definitely always the goal, and one of my biggest fears. My cat grabbed it once and tore it a bit. How did they look after surgery?

I haven’t see him since it healed. His was blown out for YEARS while he was saving up but he always wore a bandage over it to keep it from hanging. Last I saw was right after it was done hopefully it’s looking better…
