This could lead to scarring.

The earlobes, like the tops of hands, can reveal signs of age, due to elongated earlobe holes, brown spots, and sagging. As we age our ear lobes actually become bigger and thus start to look like they are sagging. The addition of gravity and jewellery such as clip on or pierced earrings all put an added weight pressure on the area and can stretch and elongate the lobe and also the piercing hole. In some cases jewellery no longer sits correctly on the ear as desired by the wearer. Often many women choose to wear their hair style in such a way as to not draw attention to their ears. There’s now a quick, in-office fix that can help combat the drooping just as it can elsewhere on your face: earlobe filler.

Earlobe filler rejuvenates and lifts the ear lobe, to restore the shape and plumpness of the lobe by pushing it outwards and give a more youthful appearance to the lobe. A small amount of filler injected into the area can also make it easier for jewellery to sit correctly on the lobe again, aiding cosmetic appearance.
