t is easy to get stuck comparing yourself to those around you. The pressure of beauty standards have resulted in nearly everyone having at least one spot on their body they wish they could change.

For those with pierced ears, over time—from wearing heavy earrings or sleeping in earrings—the piercings can stretch out. By putting a little filler in that area, you can shrink it back to normal,” explains Gillotti. Over the past few years this process has become popular. People love
