Stretching scarred ears

Hi guys

I've been looking a lot into stretching my ears for a while now.

I had them done when I was 8 (with a gun ) and there is a bit of scar tissue there - slightly lumpy and a bit hard feeling inside.

How difficult would it be to stretch with this?

What is the best option? Someone recommended a dermal punch to just get rid of the tissue, but I've seen mixed reviews about it. I know getting rid of so much flesh isn't always a great idea, although I don't plan on stretching much large than 0g.

What about piercing with a lower gauge needle, like 6g?

Thank you

You can get it pierced straight to 4mm. Let that heal up for a full year before you stretch any further. Your old scar tissue shouldn't cause any problems.
