Whether 0 gauges will close up depends on how long they've been stretched and your skin's elasticity. Generally, ears stretched to 0 gauge can partially close up if the stretching was done gradually and the ears are given time to heal. However, they may not return to their original size without surgical intervention. To encourage healing, keep the area clean, moisturize with natural oils, and gradually decrease the gauge size if you're attempting to close them.
