I have ear piercings from when I was a baby and the holes will not close at this point. My aunt pierced them and the dumb b**** did them unevenly - so I feel like I am scarred for life. I am a little insecure about it and I can't wear earrings because it makes the unevenness quite obvious. Would it be considered cosmetic surgery to get the holes closed? How do I go about this? Would my HMO cover the costs? Please help me!

A NEW PIRCING WHERE THE OLD HOLE IS NOT SEEN BY THE NEW EARING IS BETTER. BUT HAVE AN EXPERT EVALUATE THIS.

Yes, this would be considered cosmetic surgery as it's not something that is life threatening.
If your HMO covers cosmetic surgery, it will cover it.
Unless your ear holes are obvious (are you over 40 and they "wrinkle"?), then just get a new piercing and then your earrings will cover over the old hole.
