Will large hole in ear grow back???

My teenage daughter has decided that she wants large holes in her ears. It is about the size of a regular size drinking straw. I am obviously concerned about this, but don't know if it's worth a full scale battle. Does anybody know if I allow her to do this and then five years later she changes her mind, will the holes fill back in like a normal size earring hole?

Have you seen those tribes, from the amazon that do this ritualistic peircing of the lip and it stretches the skin..... I don't think it will grow back, sorry.

The best you can do to discourage her from this 'fad' is ask her if she will still want them when she is your age. I don't mean to offend, but to any teenage kid, the thought of being like their parents age is so off putting.

Or you could show her the Young People Ask book.(published by Watchtower Bible and Tract Society)

I am sure Jehovah will bless your efforts. Remember its satan that puts it in our minds to rebel, but you are doing the right thing.

thanx for the best answer! Report It

It eventually will fill in. Consider the alternative: Tattoo's: UGH!

Probably not.

nope guarantee you they wont....they might look like they are closed but they are going to look saggy...but they wont close.....

No, unfortuately they will not grow back. Trust me I have been there. As a teen I stretched my ear lobes out so that a sharpie marker could fit in them, and last week I just had a small operation to have my ear lobes reconstructed. They cut out the excess and stitched them up.

However, being the girls father the last thing you want to do is to tell her NO.. because this is a small sign of rebellion to begin with and if you say no then that will just push her to keep going bigger and bigger.

Sit down and talk with her. Use my example if need be. Explain to her that people do change and that they only way to fix it will be surgery. I din't think that I would never not want my lobes tobe stretched out.. until I tried to find a career.

Oh!? That's attractive.

Let the reconstructive surgery go on her bill.

My daughter is now 21. She is still on my insurance because she is a student. I have had to deal and wheedle with this since she was 16.

Buy her a puppy.

No they will not fill back in ... scar tissue will form around the opening and she will need to have the scar tissue removed and the holes to be sutured closed by a plastic surgeon.

My bosses son did this and I assisted in the procedure ..... IT WAS GROSS!!!! ... I removed the sutures seven days later and the incisions were barely visible.

She will be more beautiful WITHOUT them
