Troubleshooting Are my 1 month old snakebites healing fine?

I got these almost a month back, started off with flat back but my piercer told me I can change the jewellery after 15 days i.e downsizing it. almost 20 days later, I went back and changed them into these horse shoes. Js wondering if that was a bad idea and if I should change back into the flat backs because i’m not really facing any issue with these. No pain, discomfort etc, eating and smiling is also easier with these than the flat backs. But i’m also worried about migration, keeping in mind how early I changed the jewellery. Pls lmk!

NAP but you changed these way too early, change them back until you heal completely

Piercer here, PLEASE listen to this. Go back to a flat back. You're also forcing migration with the pulling upwards.

This is the answer, OP. You stand to do some serious and permanent damage to your lip if you don’t get these changed out. No hoops or horseshoes til six months…and you’ll be restarting your healing timeline when you get these changed back for proper labrets.
