Well it's partly closed due to the jewellery being stuck in your lip. So down you go to see your piercer and have him/her fix your problem. Don't doddle with it get down and get it fixed before you have real issues.
If the ball on the end of the bar has closed inside your skin you will have to get it surgically removed. There is no other way of getting it out without seriously damaging your lip.

Chances are very good that id the outside of the piercing is closed, the inside will have closed as well. Unless you have only had jewellery out of a new piercing for a few hours, the piercing can be opened by a professional body piercer us an insertion taper. This is designed to reopen piercings that have had the jewellery out for anywhere from a couple of hours to a couple of days.
Becoming swollen and sore after getting the piercing is usually common. What is uncommon is the stud sinking into your lip. You probably need to go back to the piercer and get a different type of jewelry.
Yes. When smaller jewelry is put into a piercing that was pierced at a larger gauge, the piercing will shrink slightly to accommodate it. However, you must be careful when shrinking piercings. If you put in a smaller stud or piece of jewelry then the hole size, it can sink inside of it. Lips are notorious for having small studs sink inside. Ask a piercer for advice when downsizing piercings to be sure that sinking doesnt happen. Sometimes just putting a bigger ball on the end of the stud will keep a smaller post in a piercing, so it doesnt sink.
If you are experiencing indentations from any piercing jewelry, it is likely the post is simply too short. Longer jewelry should correct the problem. With oral piercings, however, make certain not to wear jewelry that is overly long. Pressure on the gums or teeth will erode them.
Yes. It usually hurts to change any piercing for the first time. Make sure that your new jewelry is internally threaded. External threading can scratch up the inside of your piercing and cause more pain/bleeding. Save the external threading for when it's really healed.
The skin shouldn't heal over the back of the jewelry. Its common for the piercing to kinda nestle and from a sort of crater in your lip. If its starting ot heal over, go to your piercer and they can give you a longer stud.
I doubt its safe for anything to go inside a lip piercing. Unless its healed.
Nostril piercings tend to close down very quickly. The inside of the piercing is a mucus membrane, which usually will not stay open without jewelry in it. We have seen fully healed (1+ years) nostril piercings shrink down within 10 minutes. For this reason, we suggest you always keep jewelry in your nostril piercing. If you need to hide it, try a clear acrylic retainer or small piece of clear thick fishing line (burn and flatten one end to melt into a disk). These are nearly impossible to see, and work great for sports and surgery too. If you must leave the piercing empty, wait at least a year before trying. Then start with just a couple of minutes at a time and work your way up. Always be sure your hands, piercing and jewelry are clean when you attempt to reinsert jewelry. Using hot compresses on the inside and outside of your nostril can help relax tissue and ease reinsertion. Also, definitely lube up the jewelry (K-Y jelly or other water-based lube is best) before sliding it in. If you do annoy the piercing, soothe it afterwards with a warm saltwater soak.
All piercings are at risk from migration and rejection, just depends how you look after it after it's pierced. It also depends what area it is and what KIND of piercing it is. For instance a surface piercing done on the wrist with a surface bar is more likely to reject than a helix piercing in the upper ear. This is because the wrist is a high movement area. (:
There are many jewelry boxes in which a ballerina is dancing inside but the ones you wind up are simply musical jewelry boxes with a ballerina inside them.
