When it comes down to it a piercing is a hole.. Your body treats this as a wound that needs to heal.. Everyone's body is different as to how long the piercing will need to stay in before you can take it out without it healing over. There is no guarantee that your piercing will stay open without jewellery in it, The only sure way to keep it open is to leave jewellery in or if you don't want it to be noticed as much put a clear piece of jewellery in it. (a retainer) using anything other than this may be likely to cause an infection.

How long does a lip piercing that's been in for 10 months take to close up if its been out for 2 days?
How long a piercing takes to close up depends on the gauge of the piercing but mostly it depends on the individual. All I can give you is anecdotal evidence; I removed my 14g lip piercing which was 18 months old and was unable to re-open the hole without re-piercing just two days later. If you want to keep the piercing open but need it to go unnoticed (say, for a job interview or a particular event) consider using a piercing retainer, these are clear plastic bars which are almost invisible when worn.
