from what i know, post haste go down a size or even 2, the sooner the better and vitamin E all day everyday for around 2-4 months but i still have yet to get answer of if it will ever go away completly... but i know for a fact it helps.

Simple: LOTS of massages with emu/jojoba/e/bio oil as well as sleeping and showering with your plugs out. They should fatten up a bit and hopefully the extra circulation will allow some blood to fill some of the wrinkles. Just try and break down the scar tissue in the fistula (mostly what is causing the cat-butt effect) with those massages and fatten those babies up. Also, some materials like silicone, acrylic, and even some organics can cause lobes to get wrinkly. Try switching the medium of your plugs and with time and effort, those cat-butts will turn into plump little holes.

Edit: Forgot one of the most important elements--downsizing. If your lobes look *too* thin freshly removing plugs even if you've been sleeping and showering with your ears naked, I would downsize once or twice. Personally, I've never found myself in a situation which has forced me to downsize, but in conjunction with other words of advice may be really effective for you.

the thing is about that is my ears aren't thin at all in fact they are too thick if anything they dont fit in my plugs some of the time i always shower with out plugs i think im allergic to a pair of plugs i got a week or two ago cuz my ears are acting up so i have to downsize anyways. im gonna try sleeping with out plugs in though

Sounds good! Just that allowance of circulation, like I said, will reduce the appearance of wrinkles a bit.
