Usually two weeks, it takes that time for the swelling to go down, at that point you can change to a smaller diameter ring.

-Sometimes it will take longer for the swelling to go down, depending on how much you play with it, how often you clean it, what you use to clean it, and how you clean it. Also, it would be better to not change the size until all the pain goes away, changing the size of a piercing too early can cause an infection. Other then that, 2 -3 weeks until proper lip ring change.

Healing times vary from person to person so it is really hard to give a single person a defining answer. Typically Lip piercings take about 6 to 8 weeks to heal properly. If you decide to change it sooner you have the possibility of creating really tiny tiny tears on the tissue that is healing. This happens when threads on the jewelry end catch on the healing tissue. Your best bet is to wait 6 to 8 weeks and if you are unsure if its ready to be changed or not, go back to your piercer and ask them. They should be able to look at it for you and give you an estimate of when you should be able to change it based on the time that you had gotten it done.

You need to heal the piercing, this doesn't happen in a couple of weeks but over several months. You need to realize that you are trying to get your body to build skin, this is not a quick occurrence. The body takes time to truly heal piercings and this can vary from person to person. Colds, poor diet, lousy rest and poor aftercare can slow this process down markedly.

Light heals occur within a couple of weeks but this doesn't mean you can go jamming garbage jewellery into your new piercing. The delicate new tissue needs time to toughen up and become seasoned. This takes time. If you want a great looking, health piercing, just hurry up and wait. When the piercing starts to ease off on discharging the whitish yellow discharge and redness has eased and disappeared then you can consider changing the jewellery.

If you are in a big rush talk with your professional body piercer and get his/her opinion, but don't rush your piercings healing time. It takes the time it needs, if you rush you will do nothing but irritate what could have been a good looking piercing.

Lip piercings must be kept in for 6 weeks before changing the jewelry. This gives the piercing enough time to become stable enough to change the jewelry with minimal irritation.
