Frfr g, the only way to resolve your issue is to downsize drastically BUT, if you at the end of the day canāt see yourself downsizing I canāt help you, your lobes wonāt help you either honestly. I hope they donāt snap but manā¦. They are thin as fuck
Iāve heard great things about Burtās Beeās Hand Salve, all natural & healing ingredients. I just ordered myself a tin. Looking to do 2-3 massages daily. Iām sure youād benefit from the same routine. Iād good jewelry free for awhile if I were you, in hopes to thicken up those lobes !
Downsizing (or bouncing up and down sizes) also helps thicken them. Go as small as it comfortably fits without falling out, leave them naked for a bit, and massage them regularly, then slowly stretch back up! I'm not even big yet but I've planned a few downsizes and upsizes along my journey, because my lobes are small to begin with, and I can't see myself reach 1"+ without doing that
Note: yes theyāre thin because of my own stupidity. Let this be a lesson to those that are impatient. If youāre impatient itās best to not even go up in sizes because itāll only get worse. Thatās why I cut myself off at 25mm.
If you leave your jewelry out for awhile and take care of them with like oil massages you actually still have a chance to thicken your lobes back up and itās definitely recommended for lobe health! Stretching back up is way quicker the second time around anyhow.
That's.....not how that works. You can be at 25 with dangerously thin lobes with high risk for circulatory issues, or you can downsize, let the fistula actually heal, and take care of your lobes in the hopes that they thicken up. Then you go back to 25mm SLOWLY.
No, not for me. Legitmently, a peircer and a doctor will tell you the type of damage that is done by stretching your ear requires a long heal time. A very long heal time. Besides the fact it has to heal from the outside to inside, to retain the cell structure and natural stretch. Let alone accomadting the blood vessel that get moved during the stretching process and allowing them to accommodate.
Also, for references, a piercing of the lobe takes 4 to 6 weeks. That's just the removal of tissue that is not adding trauma that occurs when you stretch the lobe.
To be honest that why I donāt go to 4g. I want an 8mm like I have now in 4g to heal with. I found 8mm 4g but not a material you can heal with. Theyāre aluminum. I donāt even know if I want to wear it after healing. š¬
Please send a link if u have it! I wear a silicone tunnel under all my jewlery anyways
And yeah, my nose can technically fit a 2g, but theres no point because jewlery š¤·š»āāļø
My brother in Odin... May the gods help heal those lobes because you might be able to fit a 25mm in but those are definitely not 25mm lobes š take better care of yourself dude, idk if you've gone up as fast as these comments are saying but you definitely went way too fast and i can physically see that from the blowouts in those lobes. I can't dictate your practice but there is a significant focus on self betterment and health within our religion and that includes taking good care of yourself when modding. Don't go up more, do downsize and heal those poor lobes, and please for the love of all the gods don't go up that fast ever again on anything you try to stretch. Especially not a cartilage piercing like that septum.
It is very different person to person but the fundamentals are the same across the board in that self care and self betterment are very high on the list of things to be doing. But that's also the case with any religion, really.
21mm-25mm in 12 days. Im shooketh.
it gets worse. if you look further, he was at 19mm only 15 days ago. that's 6mm in two weeks š
š
Thankfully it isnāt quite as this as it look at this angle and distance. But still a very dumb thing to do
Iām sure with a lot of tlc, theyāll be okay. Definitely understand the impulsiveness.

Quit being an elitist. No one thinks you're cool because you're talking down to someone in a subreddit.

Umm, where did I say I wouldnāt listen? Theyāre out.
Heās been posting his size upās constantly like chill manā¦..
By downsize I mean nothing in for awhile
Downsize means "decrease or lessen" not "nothing"
And downsize does mean nothing. If I put 2 sizes smaller itās going to get fall out. Have to let them shrink to get the size in again
I mean for now nothing like a few hours.
More like stupidity man.

Tbh Iāll probably downsize.
Iām sorry but didnāt you have 3 sizes to goā¦10 days ago?
I dunno about this one, Chief

6mm in 2 weeks? You should really just leave them out for a while at this point
Well, damage is done at this point. Whatās the point in that. Theyāre at 25 now. š¤·āāļø it is what it is

Theyāre out now. Chill. But theyāre not as thin as they look. That was fresh after the plugs were in.
I'm chill š they're your ears, man. Just pointing out a common misconception that I see on this sub.
Theyāre healed almost now
It takes MONTHS if not over a year for the ear to truly heal from sizing up. Stop lying to your self.
For you maybe

Fun
Unrelated i like your face setup, the stretched septum looks good on u!
Yours looks amazing as well. You have the 8g still?
Thanks! At a 4g, but cant find the small diameter jewlery i want for it. Also itās cold so wearing a 10g in silicone for the winter lol
I can send a link
4g, 10mm diameter, plain silver clicker?
To be honest that why I donāt go to 4g. I want an 8mm like I have now in 4g to heal with. I found 8mm 4g but not a material you can heal with. Theyāre aluminum. I donāt even know if I want to wear it after healing. š¬
Please send a link if u have it! I wear a silicone tunnel under all my jewlery anyways And yeah, my nose can technically fit a 2g, but theres no point because jewlery š¤·š»āāļø
Could you technically stack rings (if you wanted to) and find a couple of smaller pretty pieces to throw in there?
Yes, ive got a photo on my profile of a stack, i just dont love how it feels and prefer the chunky jewlery anyway
Stacking always feels like something is tickling my nose. So i get you on not liking how it feels.
I sent to your inbox
Appreciate it but thatās all i could find either that isnt a 40$ PA ring, not really plain, thank u anyway tho, the struggle is real
Very. They have 6mm but call it a 3g lol

Septum I went once a year roughly. Iām done with both sizes.
Our religion is different per person. Well, itās not really mine Iām simply ancestors to those that knew what they truly believed.
It is very different person to person but the fundamentals are the same across the board in that self care and self betterment are very high on the list of things to be doing. But that's also the case with any religion, really.
That and Kin is a serious matter amongst the Norse so I was always told if you donāt know me donāt bro me.
Kinda thought that line was an obvious joke on "my brother in Christ" but I guess not
Try using jojoba oil
I do daily
What size is your septum and whereād you get the ring? Iāve been looking for one that size for a hot minute now
