Answer #1

It takes 6-10 weeks for a lip piercing to completely heal. It may not be swollen anymore but the wound (because thats what a piercing is) is still healing. If you take it out too soon you can irritate the wound and send yourself all the way back to square one. If you cant wait the full 10 weeks, at least wait 3 FULL weeks and make sure there is no swelling or irritation on the inside or outside. If there is any oozing, scabbing, redness, swelling, anything at all, DO NOT CHANGE IT. Also, if you do change it I’d make sure you still use at least a 3/8 length post (definatly no smaller than a 5/16) for a couple weeks to give your lip plenty of room incase it swells again when you change it.

Cheers!

Answer #2

3 months they take 3 months to heal at 5 days they are new wounds, they have not healed the swelling may have gone down, but as soon as you take them out they will swell up again, because you aggrivated the area the piercer, who was hopefully profesional should have told you to wait at least 3 months before taking them out or changing them
