If my belly button piercing had to be allowed to close and it left scar tissue how bad will it hurt to get it re-pierced?

Probably less than when you got it new!The scar tissue is dead tissue,meaning the nerve endings are no so sensitive as they were when you first did your piercing.

I got my tongue pierced 5 days ago and I thought it was healing well with normal swelling and soreness but I noticed a small white bump in the front of my piercing. Is this scar tissue?

That is the tongues version of a scab and it will go away in a few days.


Can you re-peirce a belly button?

Of course,just like it's possible to repierce your ears It is possible to have any piercing re-pierced, it does seem as though the piercing is more prone to rejection after the scar tissue has formed well. However, there are several piercers working with a new technique of placing surface piercings under or behind scars to try and anchor them. I don't know what the success rate is, but it does seem like it's a concievable concept. If you have them go slightly deeper I think your chances of being able to heal it will be much better or if they can, go completely behind the scar from the first time you had it pierced.

Can you get your belly button repierced in the same hole?

Yes, most piercers will. Others will require that you get it done at a larger gauge to remove the scar tissue. Keep in mind that generally it is more painful to get pierced through scar tissue.


Should you get your tongue re-pierced?

Can i re-pierce my bellybutton?

I got my bellybutton pierced three days ago but i took it out 30 minutes after i got it done because it was super crooked! Right now, the area where it was pierced has two very small scabs and it is a little sore/red/inflamed, but there is no scarring obviously. I want to get it repierced soon, and tomorrow is the only day that they have an open spot for me to get it repierced. Is it too soon to get it repierced? Also, would getting it repiercing while the area is still sort of healing increase the chances of infection? If it is bad to get it repierced so soon, I guess I will have to wait a few months, but I really would like it sooner than later.


Can you get your ears repierced if the hole is still open?

Why would anyone want to re-pierce themselves if the holes are still open? You can take out the jewelry, let the holes close, and then get them redone (that is, if there isn't too much scar tissue), but other than that, you cant re-pierce what is already pierced.


Can you re-pierce a infected lip?

Yea, I pierced the center of my lip a few months ago but the jewelry was too short so i took it out to put a longer stud in and it closed instantly before I could get it in, so I re pierced it right on the spot which was unpleasent and having to pierce through the skin twice after closing up wasn't fun but there's nothing wrong with that. You really should wait for the wound to completely heal before you shove a needle through it again, though or you can risk getting an infection.


Can you re pierce A Infected Lip?

If the piercing was infected, you shouldn't have removed the jewelry. That can lead to the formation o an abscess. That being said, wait until you're absolutely sure the infection is cleared up to get it repierced. Unless you have some serious scar tissue, getting it redone shouldnt be a problem.

does it hurt to get your belly button redone in the same spot?

It depends on how much scar tissue you have. Scar tissue can be tougher to pierce, and depending on where it is, you might have to pierce around it. I've never been pierced through scar tissue, but its generally considered to be more painful and can be harder to heal. Everyone's different though!

Can you get your belly button repierced if you have scar tissue?

Go ask your piercer about it. Some piercers do and others don't. A lot of those that do use a larger gauge needle to removed the scar tissue at the same time that they pierce your navel. I heard that piercing scar tissue hurts more so be prepared :3


Will an ear piercing get infected if you open it up after 35 years?

If by reopening it you mean re-piercing it, then yes, theres a chance that it'll get infected. If the piercing is healed over, go get it professionally repierced. Scar tissue can be a little tough to pierce through. Repiercing it yourself with non-sterile jewelry greatly increases the risk of infection. If it hasnt healed over, its fine because scar tissue has formed and you arent creating a new wound.
