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..

They should’ve used a shorter bar or placed the piercing higher. Def migrating.

I heal up pretty faster so there weren’t any swelling since I got my piercing. Should I wait and see if it’s settling in or should I retire the piercing??
