So long as you are making sure the jewellery and piercing are both clean then changing the jewellery shouldn't be an issue. Just make sure you are buying quality jewellery and not the cheap off shore junk that is available almost everywhere, that will cause you no end of pain and problems. If you need to buy jewellery buy it from professional body piercing studios that actually do body piercing not just some retail outlet in the mall.

As long as the jewellery is of the same or better quality than what is in the piercing now you could change it however I would recommend you see your piercer before doing anything with a navel piercing that is as new as yours is. Generally we ask you to wait 6 to 8 weeks before giving any consideration to changing the jewellery. So best be is to talk to your piercer and get some guidance in regards to changing the jewellery before you go and do it and damage the new piercing.

Listen you can change the jewellery if you want, but if the piercing is healing and looking fine I would suggest you leave it alone and let it really heal (3~6 months). Changing the jewellery early will subject the piercing to needless irritation and possible damage from changing it, thus tearing the new skin your body is trying to form in the piercing.

After the swelling, tenderness, and redness has gone away. Thats usually after 1-2 months. You want to be really careful with a navel piercing because its a surface piercing. When you change it, only use titanium, surgical steel, or glass. Don't use acrylic or anything else until its completely healed.

Yes, belly piercings can heal in just 3 months to a year. I would just do the switch quickly and make sure everything is clean so that it doesnt get infected.

Actually, once it's first pierced, I think you can change it after about 8 weeks or so.. but I'm not 100% positive. You should call and as your piercer for complete confirmation.

If the swellings down and the bar is too long, go back to your piercer to have them change it. You dont want to change it yourself until like, the 6 week mark
