No sooner than six weeks. But that's just to change the jewelry. If you leave it naked, it'll probably close.
Its definitely not a good idea to as your piercing can easily get infected by doing this. It may also close up in the time it is out. Wait 6 weeks before changing your jewelry
The recommended time is 2 weeks.
Wait 4-6 weeks after getting a lip piercing to change the jewelry in it
If you've had the piercing for only four weeks then yes, it will close relatively quickly. My lip piercing was two years old and closed up in only a few days, leaving a small scar. If you don't want it to close but do want it to go unnoticed look into piercing retainers.
Its different for everyone but probably very quickly. Like, within hours. Its still pretty new so don't removing the jewelry unless you accept the risk of them healing closed.
There is no such piercing as a "cartridge piercing." There is, however, a cartilage piercing and they can be taken out. After you get your cartilage pierced, you need to wait 6 to 8 weeks for it to heal completely. If you decide to take it out, it will close up automatically in just a few weeks.
Depending on the person and location of the piercing, it can take anywhere between 2 weeks to 6 months for a lip piercing to heal. After the first 2 weeks you can change the jewelry if no infection is present. Piercers use a 14 gauge needle when piercing, so you might want to down size to a 16 gauge. To test if your piercing is fully healed (this should only be done if there is no infection. Infections mean the wound is not healed), then try removing the jewelry for 5 minutes and put it back in. If you have no trouble putting the jewelry back in and the hole has not begun to close, then try leaving it out for 20 minutes. If the hole doesn't show signs of it closing, then gradually lengthen the time the jewelry is out. A fully healed lip piercing will stay pierced even after leaving the jewelry out for a few days. There will always be a small bit of discharge around your piercing. Healthy discharge will be white, not yellow or pus-like.
Yes it can. It usually takes around 12 weeks for a piercing to heal completely. Depending on where the piercing is on the body, the hole can close up within hours if the jewelry is removed.
Wait at least 8 weeks before you change the jewelry.
