It's really not about "healing" since stretching shouldn't create any open wounds if you're doing it right. It's really just about getting your ears to loosen up to accommodate the next size without pain or resistance. This takes about 6-8+ weeks for most people. Some things you can do to help your lobes loosen up faster are oil massages, playing with your plugs a lot, and wearing heavy jewelry (although you want to stay away from weights because they can encourage thinning, and if you have any plugs that are especially heavy don't wear them for more than a day or two).
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!
