Downsizing, worth it?

Okay so I hear alot of different stories like, "Anyone can get their plugs as big as they want with patience and oil massages and downsizing" then others like "Downsizing doesnt work for everyone, work with what you have".

Which one is true, lets be truthful....now to my question

I did in fact stretch fast in my days I was retarded.....tried to get to a 0g too fast and tore my left ear twice minor though of course I did the correct action and started over from a 14g and third time I taped to a 0g and worked up to 9/16 had a blow out, downsized to 7/16 doing my first oil massages ever with vit E oil for 2 months and the blowout went away and my ears were still stretched to 1/2" so I taped my left lobe to 9/16 (good ear) and made two 1cm scalpel cuts on the top of my hole to redirect stretching and tapered it VERY slowly to 9/16 with ZERO pain and nice and snug fit.....talk about luck. Ordered some Jojoba oil, holy butter, and h2Ocean to take care of my lobes. I was going to let this sit in my ears for 3 months of massages and after care but then it hit me how thin my right ear is.......I would LIKE to get to 1 1/4......but lets face it I need more lobe I would think, scalpeling to redirect stretching doesnt phase me at all I know Im going to have to do it a few times but small cuts>long cuts because I am well informed on how bad the long cuts affect your lobe with self stretching and what not its just bad......so I took out my tunnels to let them downsize but I need your feedback, so without futher typing heres my ears.

Re: Downsizing, worth it?

I originally thought i would need scalpelling to reach any higher then an 1 1/4 but i downsized and restretched alot, didnt wear plugs once i was at 1 1/4 for a couple hours each day and i managed to get to 1 3/8. Oil massages and downsizing are your best friend. It sucks but the more you do it, the more strong your ears will be and u can reach ur size without surgery.
Left Lobe = 1 3/8in.
Right Lobe = 1, 3/8 in.
