The piercing will start to shrink almost right away, but the piercing will not close completely for a few hours till it shrinks to a point where it can start to close on it's own. Be careful when replacing the jewellery do so after a shower where the tissue is moist and the jewellery can be replaced without having to force it into the piercing. If it's too snug go see your local body piercer to have the piercing tapered open to replace the jewellery.

Belly button piercing bar or ring?
Ultimately the less material sticking out of the piercing the better. See in the early days of navel piercing, they were all done with rings however this meant the piercing could be irritated by the excessive amount of material exiting from the piercing. Now with the advent of purpose designed body jewellery a properly sized and fitted navel gem means the piercing has less material that can snag or hang up on clothing. This allows the piercing to heal without the irritation seen in ring navel piercings. The navel should be visualized as a nest, the navel gem "gem" should be considered as the egg in the nest and should be centered to hang in the middle of the navel. The object is to draw attention to the whole package not just the gem but the navel and waist line as a complete package. The object is to highlight the figure of the client, this is where an experienced eye and the knowledgeable skill of a professional body piercer comes into play.
