It will take as long as your body needs to close the piercing, we don't all heal at the same rate so just leave it alone and it will shrink down and close when it's ready.

How long does it take for a nose stud to close up?

Well it depends on how long the nostril screw or ring was in the piercing and how old the piercing is. Generally nostril piercings will shrink if the jewellery is removed and left out of the piercing for over 48 to 72 hours, this doesn't mean the hole is closed just that it has shrunk. If you intend not to have the piercing any more, leave the jewellery out and the piercing will close in a few weeks. The hole will look like and over sized pore and over time will blend in with the surrounding tissue.


How long does it take for an ear piercing to close up completely?

It depends on where it is pierced. The lobes can take about 3 months to completely close up, where your cartilage can take 6 months to even a year to completely close up. It also depends on how long you have had the piercing. A piercing that you've had for years can take years to close (in my personal experience).

How many hours till it closes up-belly ring?

Your question isn't very clear, but I will give it a shot. The time it takes for a navel piercing to close or "heal up" depends on how long you have had the piercing. The longer the piercing has been in place with jewellery, the longer it will take for the piercing to close with the jewellery removed. Generally if you have had the piercing with jewellery over a year the piercing can take several months to shrink down to the point where you can't put jewellery into the piercing any longer. If you have only had the piercing for a few months then it can take a few weeks for the piercing to close.

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.
