okay. here's the deal im looking into getting silicone plugs the piercer at my local shop said its a fast and easy way to stretch i was wondering how it works exactly

You need to find a new peircer, unless you would like your lobes to grow to the jewelry. Kaos jewelry is not acceptable to use to stretch, nor to wear in a healing stretch/peircing. Kaos has a disclaimer on their website you should read...

 you should never stretch with silicone. that material isn't safe to use infresh stretches, and your ear can stick to it, which will rip your fistula out.

there's no way to magically make the process go " faster. "

It doesn't. Silicone isn't all that safe to stretch with.

*Edit: Beaten to it.

"A few people have had problems with irritation from our silicone, and this has largely occurred when using the silicone jewelry to stretch or installing silicone just after stretching by another method. Additionally, those with seasonal and pet allergies who have attempted to stretch have not had success. We are pretty certain this is due to the tacky surface of the soft material. This tackiness can cause small tears in the weak tissue on the inside of the stretched lobe, and may also pick up particulate contaminants (ie: allergens) on its tacky surface. These tears and/or debris then cause irritation. In general, when you stretch a piercing (by any method) you tend to tear or damage the tissue, either due to pressure or friction caused by the stretch. Normally, this goes away within a few hours or days. But, if the jewelry is too tight or tacky, it can effectively seal off the piercing, and it can't drain. The plasma builds up, and the bacteria (usually there is a certain amount of bacteria already residing in the piercing) run amuck. We recommend you remove the jewelry immediately (carefully and with lubricant) if you think this is happening or the piercing may be further damaged. The tearing problem is most pronounced when trying to stretch cartilage, which often ends up a painful failure. For these reasons KAOS DOES NOT recommend stretching piercings (especially cartilage) with our current product."

Dude, just be patient.  You're going fast enough. 

Edit:  Sorry...reread that, and it sounded rude.  I just mean...just be patient!  I just want you to be safe, and not fuck up your lobes.  Just PLEASE don't use silicone!!

 Just to sum this all up for the OP - even though your piercer suggests it, the actual manufacturers of the product say don't do it.  

The fact remains the "easiest" and "fastest" way to stretch your piercings is through time and patience.. because even though you can use other methods, they are more prone to screw up your ears, forcing you to downsize, and heal nastiness.

Really, I think you've been around here long enough to know the gospel that gets preached here.
