when can i change my lip piercing to a hoop
Hey Husks, I recently got a new lip piercing and I want to change it to a hoop. When's a good time to do that?
Hey! Congrats on your new piercing. Generally, it's recommended to wait until the piercing has fully healed before changing it. This usually takes around 6-8 weeks, assuming there are no complications. However, it could vary a bit depending on individuals' healing capabilities.
Are there any indicators to know that my piercing has healed?
Yes, there are a few signs that can suggest your piercing is healed. The area around the piercing won't be red or swollen anymore, and any initial discharge would have stopped. Moreover, the hole won't close rapidly if you momentarily remove the jewelry.
Thanks for the info. Also, are there any risks in changing the piercing too soon?
Yes, it's crucial you don't rush the process. If you try to change the piercing prematurely, it could cause unnecessary strain and potentially lead to infection, prolonged healing or even scarring. So please wait until fully healed.
Got it, thanks a lot for the advice, Husks.
You're welcome, stay safe with your new piercing! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
