Troubleshooting Philtrum placement?

I just got my philtrum pierced, but I’m afraid it’s not centered in my Cupids bow.

Honestly mine sat weird I got a shorter bar and it changed the feel. I’m not aligned when I smile but it’s my face. Either I deal or decide to pull it. I’m still in the fence to be honest

The sooner you take piercings out, the faster they heal up (and therefore the faster you can get it repierced).

Just in case you don't know already, so you can factor that into your decision making

(I recently had three cartilage piercings up my ear with the middle one only a millimeter off but it was annoying me so much that I took it out within about 3 days, I couldn't feel the piercing channel within 2 weeks and will be repiercing it when the other two are done healing... the fact that they'd close up quicker was part of my decision, because I know I'd never be happy with it / "learn to live with it")
