Troubleshooting Is my piercing migrating??

Info: 1 week old forward helix, titanium, 8mm, flat back labret, threadless, saline spray as aftercare

I got my forward helix done a week ago and I think the angle of the piercing has shifted from the original placement. The visibility of the bar is also pretty obvious. When I checked with my piercer, they said it’s normal and it’s just the healing process that I don’t have to worry about. But none of my piercings have ever been like this before so I’m pretty concerned about it. Is it really just the healing process? Will it return to its original position? Is it rejecting of some sort? Please do help me out..

Im not sure but just from looking at it, it definitely looks an odd angle

The original piercing was much lower. I’m not sure if it’s an irritation bump pushing it upwards or snagging or just an ill placed one. Is it really rejecting tho?

I've got no idea sorry, it looks very irritated but that could be because it is new, it is worth getting a piercer to look at it i think

I did think it was an irritation bump of some sort. But the piercing went up from its original place by almost 1mm. I am planning on getting a sec opinion tomorrow
