"Hi I'm Kerri from Zebra and Berkley and I'm here to tell you how to repair your ear lobe. Ear lobe repair is necessary for a few different reasons. Sometimes it is intentional and sometimes it is unintentional for reasons behind why your ear lobe needs repairing. Some people over time have worn too heavy of jewelry that has basically pulled their ear lobe down into a giant slit and that makes it impossible to wear normal size jewelry. A lot of times that can be repaired easily by going to a cosmetic surgeon and sometimes your health plan provider will cover this procedure and sew your ears back up. There is really no do it yourself method to repairing an enlarged ear hole and this accounts for ears that have been stretched intentionally to large gaged jewelry. So if you are going to stretch your ears up or if you have gotten into a fight or if you have just simply worn jewelry that is too heavy you have to seek a professional's help."
