Is there anything more documented? was this a complication of an earpiercing gone bad? or was it an intentional dilation and now the patient feels they want regular earlobes? It will make a difference

Yes, I guess I should have been a little more clear. No compications such as infection, etc. Patient had large ear piercing and wants the holes closed now.
