Can my stretched earlobe return to its original shape without surgery?

It is usually quite difficult for the earlobes to return back to their original size/shape once they have been stretched. The ears can be stretched following surgery (facelift surgery can sometime lead to a stretched scar aka ‘pixie ear’, see Pixie Ear Correction).

Other causes can be large earrings that pull or reshape the earlobe. All these will require a surgical solution to address the problem.
