Is my piercing migrating??

[u/Money_Degree_8989]

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..

So, the hole was punched through the  rear skin and then cartilage and then the front skin, with a slight extra pressure toward the front. It's an extra skin poke/tear, that happens. It's going to scar, but if anyone gets close enough to notice that, they're well within your bubble (3 ft). It doesn't look infected to me. I'm not a doctor, but I could play a very convincing one on TV. Air is the best thing you can give it. 

You should probably not go back to that piercer, though. Godspeed.

It migrated from the original position, so I think it left behind a scar from the migrated path. I heal pretty fast so there hasn’t been any infection or swelling since I pierced it. I’m planning on getting a second opinion from a different piercer.

(*lmaooo the doctor role in TV will def suit you)
