How long does it take for the swelling to go down on a dimple piercing?
For the basic oral piercings, ie. lip piercing, monroe, labret etc etc; the swelling begins to go down after a few days. Since the cartilage for a dimple piercing is much thicker than that of a lip piercing, the swelling will take a little bit longer to go down. Usually 3-10 days before the swelling begins to go down, depending on how much you play with the jewelery, irritate the piercing, and even how you clean it can all alter the amount of time your piercing is swollen for!

How painful is a tongue piercing?
The initial piercing is not painful. The only thing felt is the pressure of needle. The clamp on the tongue hurts more than the actual piercing. The healing after is the painful part. The tongue will swell, and the muscle will be sore. As the tongue adjust to the metal and heals itself from the initial tear and swelling, the pain will subside, generally over a few days following the piercing. By experience, a piercing in the upper cartilage hurts more than a piercing in the tongue.

How long does it take for a piercing to close just after getting a piercing?
a few days or just overnight it actually really depends on the piercing. A lip or tongue piercing will begin to close almost immediately if it was pierced very recently(within a month-ish of being pierced) However everyone is different but the mouth is known to be the quickest healing of the human body. Ear lobes Vs ear cartilage piercing will differ as well. A lobe will heal faster than cartilage because cartilage takes longer to develop. So it really depends on your body type and what type of piercing.
Can you get sutface piercing to even out off centered navel piercing 2 days later?
Technically, a navel piercing is a surface piercing. I dont understand what you want the surface piercing for though. It wouldnt even anything out. BUT since your piercing is only a few days old, the swelling could make it look off-centered. When you go back to get a new bar for it, ask your piercer about it. Normally, they'll redo it for free since its their error.
