A member asked:
How much time would it take for a 1.6mm ear expander to grow back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: The short answer is, for small to medium ear lobe stretching, give it 6 months or so. Also, expect that it will probably never go back to looking completely normal without plastic surgery. The degree of shrinking does vary depending on the patient as well and how long the ear lobe has been stretched. Hope this helps
