I see patients for earlobe repairs pretty commonly especially since I put some pictures online including a ear plug wound I fixed a few years ago.

Recently I saw a nice young gal with a really stretched ear lobe from wearing plugs. They were so large I had to figure new ways to close them and they will not look a nicely as smaller plug holes I have fixed in the past.

The Moral Of This Story: If you wear ear plugs, either plan on keeping the holes or try to keep the plugs to the less than gigantic size.
