For the basic oral piercings, ie. lip piercing, monroe, labret etc etc; the swelling begins to go down after a few days. Since the cartilage for a dimple piercing is much thicker than that of a lip piercing, the swelling will take a little bit longer to go down.
Usually 3-10 days before the swelling begins to go down, depending on how much you play with the jewelery, irritate the piercing, and even how you clean it can all alter the amount of time your piercing is swollen for!
my dimple piercings are so swollen i have a long bar in them but my cheeck is to swollen nd im scared what do i do ?
It depends on how fast your body heals and how new the piercing is. But even piercing that have been done for years can close in minutes. So there really isn't a way to tell how long it takes. So I would try to put jewelry in asap if you want them pierced.
depends on the person and how long they leave the earring out for.
As long as it took you to get up to what ever gauge you are at it will take that amount of time for the issue to shrink down. If you tore the piercing then you will see what looks like cat's butts on your ears, guess what short of surgical assistance you are stuck with it.
haha.. one determined week
it takes up to a few weeks
AAAAGES! But after a while you barely notice them.
my dimple piercings are so swollen i have a long bar in them but my cheeck is to swollen nd im scared what do i do ?
i have snake bits and it took mine about 3weeks to go all the way down
i think you can be any age as long as you have a parent with you. it just depends where you go to get it done.
Absolutely...ice helps to bring the swelling down, but as long as you don't put it on for too long, and the piercing itself isn't constricted too tightly. I have a nose piercing too, and i do it all the time.
The swelling should be completely gone within a week. If it isn't you may have an infection. You should go to a doctor and have the doctor look at it.
Everyone says that at first, wait till the swelling has come and gone, this can take up to 3 weeks to pass. Once the swelling is done you can get the piercing stepped down, but keep the longer labret in case you catch a cold or get sick because the piercing can re-swell during the first year for numerous reasons.
Well your professional body piercer should have covered that with you at the time you got your piercing done. Best give him/her a phone call and ask for some help, you seem to have some issues going on with your piercing and they should have given you full instructions regarding swelling and pain management.
You can drink anything as long as it's nothing hot, drinking cold beverages can help bring down swelling so can eating ice
Well your piercer should have told you how long the swelling would take to go down, as well as having provided you with written aftercare instructions. I need to telly you that the piercing you have will reject (you should have been told that as well). Hand web piercings never stay and always reject. There should be no actual swelling, if there is there could be a serious problem with how the piercing was done. Contact your piercer.
Well it will hurt until it heals which could be a long time (several weeks) hand web piercing is just about the most useless piercing next to dimple piercing. Hand web piercings will migrate and will get infected without question, so think about this seriously before you waste money on a piercing you won't keep. Seriously think about it first.
