How fast will a nose piercing that is 2 days old close up if jewelry comes out?

I had my nose pierced for 2 days and accidentally pulled it out. It was too swollen still to get the L bend jewelry around the corner, so I thought I would have to get it re-pierced. The piercer said to wait 2 days until the swelling went down a bit and she would try and get the jewelry in without re-piercing with a needle etc.
So it came out on the Sunday and I got it put back in on the Tuesday...it was a bit tricky and hurt more than the original piercing but she got it. (She used a longer, thicker L bend the 2nd time.)
It had sort of started to close up (you could barely see the hole on the outside) and as she re-did it I felt the 3 pops.
I'd say that too much longer than that and there would be no way she could get the blunt stud through, she would have to re-pierce it. I was told that if they couldn't get the stud back in it was best to leave it a few weeks to heal before sticking another needle through it.
So you probably shouldn't wait any longer than 2 or 3 days. Sorry about the long reply, but I you or someone else.

Can a naval piercing close up in short amount of time?
Most piercings that are fresh will close up within a matter of an hour to a few hours of the jewelry being out, and even a well healed piercing will close up after a few days of no jewelry being worn...unless the piercing is stretched, but even then, you have at most two to three days of wearing nothing before it begins to shrink.
Can you take out your lip piercing after 3 or 4 days?
If you are wanting the piercing to close, then yes. Four days is just a tad bit too soon to take the jewelry out, and the fistula will close up within a matter of a few hours. Best to wait about a month after having it done to change the jewelry out for the smoothest results.

That depends on your body really. So don't leave the jewelry out unless you accept the risk that the piercing might close. You could always try a retainer
Lip piercing how do you know when it is healed?
Depending on the person and location of the piercing, it can take anywhere between 2 weeks to 6 months for a lip piercing to heal. After the first 2 weeks you can change the jewelry if no infection is present. Piercers use a 14 gauge needle when piercing, so you might want to down size to a 16 gauge. To test if your piercing is fully healed (this should only be done if there is no infection. Infections mean the wound is not healed), then try removing the jewelry for 5 minutes and put it back in. If you have no trouble putting the jewelry back in and the hole has not begun to close, then try leaving it out for 20 minutes. If the hole doesn't show signs of it closing, then gradually lengthen the time the jewelry is out. A fully healed lip piercing will stay pierced even after leaving the jewelry out for a few days. There will always be a small bit of discharge around your piercing. Healthy discharge will be white, not yellow or pus-like.
Will your lip piercing close after 4 weeks?
If you've had the piercing for only four weeks then yes, it will close relatively quickly. My lip piercing was two years old and closed up in only a few days, leaving a small scar. If you don't want it to close but do want it to go unnoticed look into piercing retainers.

How long does an eyebrow piercing take to close up if you dont like it?
If the piercing is 24 hours old it will close quite quickly (generally a few days to knit up), the longer the piercing has been kept with the jewellery in it the longer it will take to heal up. So if you don't like the piercing, get the jewellery out fairly quick and you should be good in a few days.

How long does it take for a new earlobe piercing to heal I have had my ears pierced for five days and they are gauged to a 12g But i need to know how often i have to poke it through to keep em open?
You shouldn't be "poking" anything through them.... If you stretched them, you have to keep jewelry in them or they'll shrink back up. You cant really take jewelry out of a stretched piercing and not expect for it to shrink a bit. Especially after 5 days.
