This can cause the skin to stretch and the earlobe to crack,\u201d warns Deepak Dugar, a cosmetic surgeon based in Beverly Hills, California. Of course, everything also depends on the weight of the jewel. Some earrings can be very large, but also very light. That&#8217;s not always the case, however. In less serious cases, maxi earrings can still cause headaches.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_98675\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98675\" style=\"width: 709px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/orecchini-messika-indossati.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98675\" src=\"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/orecchini-messika-indossati.jpg\" alt=\"Orecchini di Messika in oro rosa e diamanti\" width=\"709\" height=\"481\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/orecchini-messika-indossati.jpg 709w, https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/orecchini-messika-indossati-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/orecchini-messika-indossati-81x55.jpg 81w, https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/orecchini-messika-indossati-400x271.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 100vw, 709px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-98675\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rose gold and diamond earrings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The danger is so real that there are doctors who specialize in lobe reconstruction. An ear lift, to rebuild the lower part damaged by too heavy earrings is common. The procedure includes two options: one for a lobe where the piercing has stretched the lobe, and the second is for thickening ears that have simply gotten thinner with age. The cost of the intervention varies, in the USA, between 1,500 and 3,000 dollars. In any case, the earlobe never goes back to the way it was. So, be careful not to go overboard with ultra heavy earrings.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30265\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30265\" style=\"width: 709px\" class=\"wp-caption
