Yes remove the jewellery and leave them alone and the tissue will contract over time. If you tore the piercings at all during the stretching process, there can be some scar tissue in the piercing which will deform the piercings.

Once stretched to 6 gauge, the earlobes may shrink slightly over time if jewelry is removed, but they are unlikely to completely return to their original size. The extent of shrinkage varies from person to person and can be influenced by factors such as how long the ears were stretched and individual skin elasticity.
To close stretched ear piercings or gauged ears, you can opt for a procedure called a "lobe reconstruction surgery," where excess tissue is removed and the hole is stitched up. This procedure is typically done by a skilled plastic surgeon and results in a more natural-looking earlobe. It's important to consult with a professional to discuss your options and the best approach for your specific situation.
When clothes shrink, the fibers that make up the fabric constrict due to exposure to heat, agitation (such as being tumbled in a dryer), and/or changes in pH levels (as in the case of washing with hot water or harsh chemicals). This causes the fibers to shorten and become tighter, resulting in the overall garment size reducing.
Change in temperature is what cause the Mercury to expand up (hotter) or shrink down (colder).
When a cymbal crashes, it vibrates and produces sound waves. These sound waves travel through the air and reach your ears. Your ears pick up on these vibrations, which are then processed by the auditory system in your brain, allowing you to hear the sound of the crashing cymbal.
It can take a few weeks to months for gauges to close up completely after removing them, depending on the size of the jewelry and how long the gauges were worn. Massaging the earlobes with oil can help promote faster healing and closure.
