Also wanted to add this wiki info on Stretching body piercing info
There are few health issues directly related to stretching piercings. Most stretching methods do not create a wound, and properly stretched piercings will heal after stretching, although if an individual’s skin elasticity and vascularity allow, most piercings can be stretched far beyond their initial size. Most people class 12.7mm as the “point of no return” as over 12.7 mm will never recover fully , However, each person’s tissue will differ, and many variables—such as a person’s age, length of time taken to stretch, time fully healed at a particular size, skin elasticity, and scar tissue formation, amongst others—can affect the ability of the skin not only to stretch, but also to close up.
If taken beyond the body’s ability to stretch, or if done improperly, damage caused can require minor surgery to repair, or may not be repairable. Blowouts from over -stretching, especially ones caused by “dead stretching”, can create scar tissue, which can lead to keloiding or hypertrophic scarring. Stretching too quickly, or skipping from one smaller gauge to a gauge more than one size larger, can cause bleeding and infection and eventually lead to a buildup of scar tissue. Scar tissue is more difficult to stretch than unharmed skin, and can make further stretching difficult.
However, application of Bio oil(vegan), emu oil, vitamin E, Jojoba oil, or other similar oils can reduce the size of blowouts and enhances the circulation of blood flow going to the skin around the stretched fistula, thickening the flesh and allowing more elasticity and a healthier piercing. Additionally, downsizing—moving from a larger size to a smaller size intentionally—can help build collagen in the earlobe, which will thicken the lobe, reduce the puckered appearance of earlobes that have been stretched too quickly, and keep earlobes healthy.

I started thinking of way to tackle my explained method to avoid lig injury. Which I’ve already suffered from once from hanging.
