Stretched earlobes or gauging date back to the Egyptian Pharaoh’s and Buddha and became popular in the main stream population in the 1990’s.
Rock star celebrities such as Adam Lambert from American Idol; Chester Bennington lead singer of the band Lincoln Park; Brandon Boyd singer of the band Incubus all adorn gauging jewelry.
While this fashion trend may be something that you appreciated in your youth it may now be an embarrassment or something that may hinder your career, such as attending a job interview or applying for the armed services.
At Cosmetic Image Clinics we offer earlobe reconstruction, which is done by surgically revising some of the skin around the rim and hole of the enlargement and then reshaping the ear to reflect its original shape.
Stretched earlobes or ear gauging is the gradual stretching of a hole in the ear lobe, using progressively larger and larger “gauges” over a period of time.
Stretching of your ear lobes can also occur from wearing heavy earring jewellery over time which can also permanently disfigure your ear lobes.
