If you gauge your ears at a 12 will you be able to shrink them back to a 16 for prom?

You might, but it depends on how large or significant the damage was and how quickly and fully your body / ears heal on their own. If it is not going too well (maybe by the time you are 14 or 15), you could try going to a doctor. Some might be able or willing to stitch it back up.

If you gauge your ears does it matter how long you leave them in for them to grow back?
The elastin in the tissue will always want to make them shrink so long as you don't stretch too far.
Why did the Aztecs gauge their ears?
The Aztecs practiced ear gauging as a form of body modification and adornment, considering it a sign of beauty and status. Larger ear gauges were associated with higher social status and spiritual significance in Aztec culture.
What are the dangers of wearing gauges in your ears?
There are different dangers to this modification. Though many think it ugly, I think lovely. Yes, after maybe a 1 inch stretched ears, they will most likely not shrink back. There are the dangers of infections of course, such as keliods, which are lumps that form on the ear and are really hard to get rid of. Some solutions are surgery and radiation which may not be anything fun. You may also risk the lobe tearing after a larger gauge size. And to "get rid of" the stretched ear or when you don't like it anymore, you get a surgery if the lobe doesn't shrink back. I hope this helped, enjoy your stretched ears!

Will your ears grow back after 00 plugs?
No. You will be stuck with great gaping holes in your ears and it will take a long time for them to shrink but they will not "grow back". YES. whoever answered your question before doesn't know what they're talking about. I and many of my friends have stretched ears and i've seen people who've had their ears stretched to half inch and still healed all the way. not saying you won't be able to notice some scarring but they will definitely heal up! :)
Are wolves able to flip their ears back?

What size can you gauge your ears to and not be able to heal?
Generally, the point of 'no return' is 0g. Meaning that in most cases you can stretch to 0g, and still be able to size back down to a 'regular' sized piercing. BUT: Everybody is different, 0g is NOT the exact point, some may be able to stretch larger and still size back down, while others may not be able to size back down at 0g.

Can you un gauge your ear?
Depending on how big you stretched your ears to, the holes will shrink down to a normal piercing size or close to it. Every person's body is different with how they heal, so it really depends on your immune system.

Is it possible to reduce an 18-gauge piercing to a 20-gauge piercing or is it only possible to stretch your piercings?
As long as the jewelry is not to heavy the skin will eventually shrink, and your not going to drastic so yes it should shrink to a 20g within a few months or less. --- i have my ears stretched to around a 2g and they are almost completely closed up, so given that, I'm sure if you put in a smaller ring the skin should close up on it.
One of your pierced ears is a little off center will this affect how your ears will look if you gauge them cause you want to gauge them please help you out?
No it shouldn't effect the gauge . If you want it to hurt less i suggest getting it done at a piercing shop . They have special creams and lotions that numb and protect your stretched ears from infection .
