Its not very likely. You'll probably see redness and dark discharge first but swelling isn't that far behind. If you think its infected, either go see a doctor or have your piercer check it out.

You recently got the top part of your ear pierced and the earing sunk in your ear?
Go back to the facility that did the piercing and tell them to fix the problem, they did the piercing so they need to help you out. They provided the service and they are accountable for there actions so see them before doing anything else (get photos). Root cause: you pierced cartilage with a gun. Studs for piercing guns are only one length. If your ear swells up, which any piercing can do infected or not, it's going to get caught between the back and the ball on a piercing stud...and you're in trouble. If you pierce cartilage with a needle, there's plenty of room for swelling on that jewelry. Body piercing studios can't help you with your issue. Legally that would be resolving a medical issue and practicing medicine without a license. You need to either go back to the studio that did the piercing and see what they will do for you (refund or cover your expenses etc.) but ultimately you will need to seek the assistance of your Doctor or medical treatment center.

What to do for excessive swelling on the labaret monroe piercing?
If the piercing has swelled to a point where you think it's excessive you need to go back to the studio that did it and have them put a longer stud into the piercing so it can drain and so the swelling can be relieved. A professional body piercer will account for some swelling and the jewellery needs to be long enough for this to occur without causing any further trauma. So go back and get them to fix it, if they are smart they will do it at no charge to you because they didn't account for the swelling nor did they instruct you on how to control the swelling.

What happens when swelling in the cartilige piercing?
If you had it done by a professional (a professional piercer, not a mall gun mutilator) then you should have nothing to worry about and the swelling should subside in a matter of a few days. If however it was performed with a gun instead of a needle then you are looking at a likely infection and a very sore ear for up to three months. Do not remove the piercing if you suspect it is infected because that only traps the infection within your body. Go to your doctor and have them perscribe antibiotics until your infection is gone and then, if you still wish to do so, you can take the piercing out without any ill effects.
