S.T.
I am not really sure about the placement, but I had my ears repierced when I was an adult and they are pretty much in the same place as the original ones from when I was 5. However, they cross at some point inside the hole and if I am rushed I find myself trying to push the ear rings out of where the old hole was in the back and OUCH! that is not fun because it is grown over. Just make sure you take her to a real piercing place instead of a small store in the mall, they will probably do a better job and have more knowledge about growth and things.
