A properly* done (*that would be done by an actual professional body piercer in a licensed and inspected facility) should have a light heal in about 4 to 6 weeks. A light heal doesn't mean completely healed. For the piercing to be considered completely healed ( often referred to as a "seasoned piercing") that would need to be a full year old from the time it was pierced.

You can consider changing the jewellery in about 8 weeks, but if there are no healing issues and no real reason other than vanity provoking you to change the jewellery, it's best to just leave it alone and let it season up.

Regardless of what others and the internet tell you, the longer you leave the piercing without changing it the better. This is based on several thousand piercings I have conducted over the 18 years I have been piercing professionally.

Can you get a piercing in the nose at age 11?

It depends on the development of the nose and nostril ridge. Not every nostril can be pierced at your age, only a professional body piercer will be able to tell if you have developed the proper ridge at 11 years old. You may need to wait a year or two till the nose develops more. Piercing the nostril early before the ridge has developed can cause the piercing to droop and end up being placed in the wrong location. Nothings worse than a nostril piercing that's placed incorrectly.
