Firstly- they will never truly close, any piercing that has been stretched is more than likely fully stable and has a strong and well developed fistula. This means no closing, like ever. Secondly- they may “shrink”, I’ve seen ears stretched up past 18mm shrink back to small 3mm holes.

Depends on how well your body handles stretching. I just tried it every 2-3 weeks or so, pushed a taper through until i felt discomfort, then took it out. If it went all the way through, great, new jewellery in! If not, ease it out and try again a few weeks later.
