take it 1 size at a time do not skip sizes and make sure to wait 4-6 weeks between the small sizes 16 ga -8 ga and then wait 1-3 months between the bigger sizes ... all the waiting is not just to let your ear heal but to also give it time to strengthen enough to stretch properly without cause a lot of scar tissue

What they said. Also, stretching should really never cause any wounds that need to heal. It's really just a matter of giving your ear enough time to be ready to move up to the next size with no pain or resistance.
I'm Lindsay.
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!
