How long to downsize?
How long will it take to downsize from a unhealed 2mm back to a normal piercing size? Just i have a out of the blue possibly life changing interview in 5 days, will it be noticable? Cheers guys! Should i just take them out and leave them out? Keep cleaning them? Etc etc, thanks guys!

Re: How long to downsize?
Hi Connor,
I doubt it will heal within that time so my advice would be to get some kind of flesh coloured tape or near enough the same colour and this may sound feminine but you could get some concealer to get it closer to your body shade.
I hope others can reply as mine is only a thought from me and not having to have to do it, this may not be the best way.
Regards
Dr Rob.
Great to hear you are doing your best to heal them before stretching again - it will be worth it in the end.

But if you're only at 2mm, can you even tell when the plug is out? When I was at 2 mm and took my plugs out, you couldn't tell the difference- even now, at 4mm, when I take out my plugs it looks almost like a normal piercing.
I really doubt that your interviewer will notice anything if you take them out.
Or did you perhaps mean that you are at 2g (6mm)?

Re: How long to downsize?
If I were you I'd just take them out; it's gonna look the same as a normal piercing hole. Unless you think they'll close up.
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!

2mm is nothing, a naked 2mm hole looks the same as a normal hole, but if you meant 2g, it will probably shrink in one night without jewelry and will look almost like a normal hole. i tried it when i had 8mm/0g hole and in the morning it looked like the lobe has never been stretched! :D i wouldn't worry about 2mm cuz its so small.... :)
