Re: Unhealthy lobes?

They look fine to me. Oil massages and wait awhile before you stretch again. Downsize even more and wait awhile before going back up. That's pretty much all you could do if you want to thicken them, although you probably already knew that.

I think they look really good compared to what I see most of the time.

Re: Unhealthy lobes?

When you take the plug out is your lobe wrinkled? If so there might be some scarring and the oil massages should help. But other than that it looks nice and healthy; I'd be a little concerned about them getting too thin if you stretch much bigger, though.

I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!
