Earlobe fillers are officially a thing

That's why you don't wear huge, heavy dangly earrings every day! I understand the point though. A lot of older ladies have very stretched out ear lobes from their younger days. You can also cover them up with chunky studs if you don't want surgery!

I had a stretched out earlobe from when I was 8 years old and my earring got ripped out but I was too scared to tell my mum lol. So continued wearing heavy earrings which stretched out my ear lobe all throughout school. Finally at 23 I had a surgeon stitch up the stretched out piercing hole, and got it re pierced. My lobe is still a bit stretched out however it doesn't bother me as my stud earrings usually cover it, plus I like the look of fake stretchers atm, just the small ones. If my lobes were sagging I'd definitely get it done. I'm too afraid to wear very heavy dangly earrings because of this. I'll stick to studs and cute huggie hoops instead thanks!

I think this is funny, but I do understand why someone would want it done.

Joking,... right?

I have a few heavy earrings but I try not to wear them too long. Besides the stretching it gets uncomfortable.

Beauty procedures keep getting weirder and weirder every year

The way I figure it is that while the cosmetic surgeons are practising on people with earlobe fillers they are finding better ways to help those that are in real need, with facial abnormalities.

Wow. I just wear studs or light earrings but then again I don't own heavy diamond earrings.

What an article. . Im speechless

This to me sound's like a gimmick-money grabbing. Filler's in lips & under eye's etc I can understand why people would go to such lengths but this nope.

Who even notices your earlobes?

Not a procedure I would consider or need but can understand how others need it for their confidence.

Oh my goodness! How about accepting ourselves as we are?

I had never heard of this before but after reading about it, it does sound useful to those who wear heavy earrings.

I don't think that I would even have fillers in my cheeks or lips, let alone my ear lobes. Anyway, whatever someone does to their body is none of my business!

I only wear studs because otherwise my kids pull at my ears, but good to know its an easy enough solution to fix.

You know in some cultures in Africa i.e the Masaai community , they purposely get their ear lobes stretched as it is perceived to be beautiful. So you see lots of pretty Masaai women in Kenya with large holes on their ears where their ear lobes are.

Seems a bit OTT for me! But I can see the benefit as others have pointed out!

Oh wow they can really do everything these days.

I can't wear heavy earrings for long, so thankfully stretching earlobes hasn't been an issue for me

I don't have my ears pierced so no earlobe issues with me.

So I laughed when I first read the title of the article because I thought wow, now people are feeling pressured and insecure about ear lobes. But after reading the article, I can understand this. It's not something I think I would ever get, but you never know.
