No more than 2-3 weeks. But, if you hit it or snag it of course it might get red but the constant discoloration shouldn't last long.
Once any piercing is *seasoned (*over a year old ), so long as the jewellery is appropriate for the piercing in gauge and length or diameter the piercing will not stretch unless you change it to a larger gauge. So will you have this big gaping hole in your lip? Well no, if you stay with the jewellery you are sized to it should stay the same size during the *life of the piercing (* this is for however long you choose to keep the piercing ).
tree seconds.
They don't swell. see a doctor if they are.
Lip piercings if you are following your written aftercare to the letter, should show a decrease in swelling by the two week time period.
It can stay swollen for up to a week, depending on how it is being taken care of, and how your body reacts to it.
Generally the original post is too long once the piercing heals, but if you want to you can stay with what you have, but changing the jewellery always looks better.
Food would be a good thing, unlike a tongue piercing you can eat almost anything so long as you rinse after eating and stay on something for swelling.
It depends on how long you have the piercing/ how healed it is. If you have it for longer than a year and it is all healed, it will usually stay open for awhile. Your tragus is just like the cartilage on the outer rim of your ear.
A nose piercing, should you no longer want to have it, will usually heal itself and present a scar afterwards.
The same as before the piercing. Look you will get a whitish film on your tongue once it's been done but generally a day or two after the piercing, it's nothing to worry about just stay in your ice and you will be fine.
If you're talking about the jewelry then forever if treated right, if your're talking about the hole then you have to keep it in for 6-8 months to let the hole stay not closed, My piercer told me that and I have a Monroe piercing and I'm getting spiderbites tomorrow.
Just go easy on the hand springs and spring rolls and egg rolls and stuff, let your navel piercing tell you when you are getting too carried away. Be sure to stay on top of you aftercare and happy piercing is a clean piercing.
