If the ball is held in place by the ring, then it's called a Captive Bead Ring, this means it's only held by the tension of the ring (captive). So to remove the bead just apply pressure to the side of the bead away from the ring and the bead will pop off. If you can't get the bead to pop out then you will need to visist your piercer and have them use a ring expanding plier to open the ring enough so the bead will drop out. If it's a barbell then the bead unscrews from the barbell, turn to the left to loosen the ball, turn right to tighten the ball. ( righty tighty, lefty loosie )

Use a pair of clean, non-slip gloves for better grip and carefully grab the ball of the lip ring with one hand while holding the lip ring in place with the other. Twist the ball counter-clockwise to unscrew it from the lip ring. Be careful not to apply too much pressure or force to avoid causing discomfort or damage to your lip.
The hot ball will heat up the ring as it passes through, potentially causing thermal expansion of the ring's material. If the ball is significantly hotter than the ring, it may also cause the ring to deform or melt depending on the materials involved.
Heating the ring will cause it to expand, increasing the size of the ring's opening. This will make it easier for the metal ball to pass through the ring after it has been heated.
If the ball and the ring are heated too much, they may expand due to thermal expansion. This could cause the ring to become loose around the ball or even deform the shape of the ball. Extreme heat could also potentially damage the materials of the ball and the ring, leading to structural integrity issues.
Heating the metal ring would cause it to expand, leading to an increase in its size. If the metal ball can fit through the now larger ring due to expansion, then it will go through it.
The ball on a lip piercing is secured tightly to prevent it from accidentally coming off. It is usually screwed on or held in place by tension, making it difficult to remove without specific tools or techniques. This ensures that the jewelry stays in place and reduces the risk of losing it.
