Can you change your belly ring if you just got the piercing one week before?

No you cannot, at least not just yet. Changing your belly button ring, or for that matter any other kind of body jewelry, just one week after getting a new piercing is a surefire recipe for disaster. In such short a time, there is no way that your piercing would have healed enough to enable you to change your belly ring. And if you do try it, you could very well cause your piercing to close, as at such an initial stage, a piercing can close even if left without jewelry for a few minutes. Although belly button piercings take differing lengths of time for healing in different people, it is safe for all to assume that for at least the first six months, your piercing will not have healed properly. Some people may even take up to a couple of years to have their belly piercing heal fully. But that in no way means that you have to wait for a full 2 years to change your nipple ring. Once the initial healing period has passed (about 6 months) you can proceed to change your belly ring. However, as the piercing in all likelihood will not have healed fully, it is best not to keep it free of belly rings for any length of time.

Can you change the balls on your belly button piercing if not fully healed?
Ultimately it's better to let the piercing heal before messing around with changing jewellery or balls, the jewellery is designed fornew piercings and is bio-compatible however the balls you may want to change may not be of a bio-compatible material and could just annoy your new piercing for no reason other than to look different. I would suggest a trip down to see your piercer and have them change the balls for you so the piercing is not irritated needlessly.
