Ear Piercing Help

Hi I'm not sure if this is the right place for this but here goes:

My first ear piercings were done when I was a baby, then I got my second lobe piercings done when I was 14. Unfortunately I didn't realise until much later, but they are not in the same position on each ear. (The one in my right ear is further away from the first piercing, exactly the right gap between the two, but the one in my left ear is much closer). I used to wear hoops in both or hoops in the first and studs in the second, so it was less noticeable. I also have two cartilage piercings in my left ear which distracts from the bottom more. So I left it and never thought much of it.
However I got a third lobe piercing at the start of the year. I now wear 3 studs (one in each colour gold), because I love how it looks and I don't want to go back to wearing hoops. With 3 studs it's very noticeable and I don't like it at all. I love my right ear because they are correctly positioned, but my left ear bugs me because I know it's not right.
My question is this: I was thinking of removing the existing 2nd piercing in my left ear, and getting it re pierced a bit higher up, where it should have been anyway, so it matches my right ear. Obviously the new stud will be higher than the existing one. Is this likely to be possible?
(I will be speaking to the person who will be doing it if it's possible. But i wanted to get an idea first. And to see if I've explained what I want doing clearly).

Should be ok to do. I got a 3rd hole repierced but the piercer said she would adjust the position so it sat in a straighter line than it was before. It is now slightly higher than the original piercing. It would be easier to do it if it's a needle piercing as its more precise
