Brian stops the Unstoppable!

Pauly is no stranger to modblog, In fact he has reached damn near celebrity status for his mods and particularly for his stretching. That is why so many people were shocked when he had Brian reconstruct his lobes from 3 3/8″ to nothing!  Before you ask why, take a minute to read Pauly’s blog where he explains his motives.

I don’t know many practitioner’s, bod mod or medical, who have done more ear lobe reconstructions that Brian, and it is evident in the quality of this reconstruction. That’s a genuine compliment, I am not just being nice because it is that delightful sunuvabitch’s  35th birthday today either!

    Not “better”, just different.

    And yeah…Brian is so good at ear mods of all kinds. 🙂 I don’t really trust anyone else to do anything remotely heavy to my ears.

    I have the same question as sik.spud in comment # 19.
    My ears were fine, and then got blown out when I got them cut. I would love to start over, but would my ears be healthy enough if I had them reconstructed?

    They look amazing. Brian really does incredible work. Happy birthday, Brian, I hope to get some work done from you soon. 🙂

    As for Pauly, I think he made a good decision and I hope he really does have a great time stretching now that he’s so experienced. Good for him. 🙂

    It’s funny- I can sympathise entirely with his motives- I absolutely love the process of stretching my ears, and often wondered what is going to happen when I have reached my ‘limit’ with my lobes. I have often thought of doing the same thing- seems Pauly beat me to the punch ;D

    That is a FANTASTIC earlobe reconstruction, however, I am entirely impressed! A few of my friends have had their ears sewn up by ‘reputable’ plastic surgeons here in Adelaide and Melbourne, but they have just turned out atrocious 🙁 This is going to be something I forward onto friends telling me there’s no such thing as a good reconstruction >;D

    I’m on the “are you able to stretch reconstructed ears” boat with some of the others. I know they can be stretched again, but will they have the same affinity for stretching as before the procedure? I realize there would be a range of contributing factors, but even with 100% success in reconstruction are sizes of 2″+ possible? I would love to hear more info on this.

    That stitch looks absolutely gorgeous! I know what he is talking about in his blog about having an active lifestyle. I’ve been training in martial arts for 3 years now and last Friday had my steel plugs (which have screw-on ends that are MUCH larger then my 00 holes) torn out of my right ear.

    It didn’t hurt at all but did tear my ear a bit. It’s just annoying to have to deal with especially being active. Which is why I now prefer tattoos.
