After taking a navel piercing out how long should you wait to get it redone do to scar tissue?

You need to give the previous opening at least 3 months to heal. If there is significant scarring, you may not be able to get it pierced again. Some piercers will not pierce through significant scar tissue.

But you might want to go to a bigger guage to avoid the whole scar tissue thing all together. The bigger guage SHOULD (as long as its a hollow needle) cut out some of the scar tissue, but then when you are ready to take out your navel piercing it will leave a larger scar than the first one did.

How do you help a migrating belly button piercing?
Take the jewellery out of the piercing and call it a day. The piercing will continue to migrate and will eventually drop the piercing altogether. Removing the jewellery now will allow your body to maintain the tissue and prevent the formation of scar tissue. After a few weeks you could go and talk to your local professional body piercing about having the piercing redone deeper behind the migrating piercing.
How does piercing rejection start?
Generally rejection starts when you notice the tissue between the entry and exit points going from a normal flesh tone to a more pinkish tone. This can be due to jewellery that is ill fitting (generally too large or long for the piercing) causing stress on the actual tissue retaining the piercing. If you notice this tonal change in the skin, that's the time you should ask yourself if you want to keep the piercing or not. If you opt to loose the piercing or have it redone then remove the jewellery from the piercing and see your local professional body piercer for a second opinion. Sometimes changing the jewellery can revert a migration by minimizing the irritation longer or over sized jewellery can cause.
I plan on piercing my lip in a few days and would like some advice on it and my mother is against it so I cant get it done in a shop so any help is nice?
If your mother is against it you shouldn't do it--she's going to make you take it out, and the scar tissue from getting it done then taking it right back out could make it impossible to have it redone.
Will a piercing scar if you have only had it three months?
As long as there is jewellery in the piercing the piercing will not scar, it will form new tissue that makes up the piercing. If the jewellery is removed before the piercing is allowed to heal completely this tissue will join together and form scar tissue.

That depends. If you lost the piercing by somehow ripping it out and the tissue is still scarred than no, but as long as the navel is not damaged it should be fine. Try talking to someone at your local tattoo or piercing parlor, they should know.
What will happen if i take out my industrial piercing a few days after you pierced it?
Well simply put the piercing will close, any time you get a piercing and remove the jewellery a few days after the piercing has been done the body will attempt to repair the damamge by closing the piercing. Jewellery should not be removed for any reason other than to get rid of the piercing, once the jewellery is out and then reinserted at a later date, the fine new tissue that was trying to form now becomes scar tissue instead of the fine fistula that makes up the piercing tissue.

The body is guarding the tissue while the piercing is healing, this toughening will ease off as the piercing heals. Be sure to stay on your aftercare routine.
Is piercing your belly button easier after you have had it done perfesionaly and then taken it?
All piercing should be professionally done, re piercing anything in the same location will result in increased discomfort due to cutting through the old piercing tissue. When tissue is formed for a piercing it develops the same sensory receptors as normal skin. If the piercing is still opened and it's a case of the jewellery not going all the way through the piercing, see your local professional body piercer and have them use a taper to open the piercing to the right size.
Can you take out a lip piercing after 1 week to clean it?
Why? You never remove the jewellery in a fresh piercing to clean it, you clean the piercing and jewellery in place while in the shower, that should be more than enough. You can do damage to the new tissue trying to form by removing the jewellery, your written aftercare instructions should out line how to care for your new piercing.
What form of piercing has no exit holes?
Dermal anchors only have one entry point into the tissue. So for all intents this would be considered a piercing that doesn't have exit holes. Technically to be considered a piercing it should have an entry and an exit point, dermal anchors are actually not piercings but more body modifications considering there "implantation" into the tissue.
