stretched lobes
Enlarged ear piercings
Stretched lobes are earlobes that have been gradually enlarged to accommodate larger jewelry, a form of body modification practiced across many cultures.
The process involves incrementally increasing gauge sizes over months or years.
Small stretches may close naturally if jewelry is removed, but larger ones become permanent: She's been stretching her lobes for two years and is up to half an inch.
