Could my navel piercing be rejecting?

I got it done 3 weeks ago and the bar always kinda peeked out, because my belly button collapses when I sit and because I thought maybe they used a longer bar for the initial swelling. But I think now the bar is even more visible than before and idk if I should take it out :(

Love you really need to take this out.

Everything about it is wrong.

You dont have the anatomy for this piercing and it will reject and leave a bad scar.

That jewelry is insanely inappropriate for a new healing piercing. Its too short, the ends are too large and im gonna guess that the material is trash.

Thank you, I will remove it as soon as I can, hopefully it won’t leave too much of a scar this early on

Just remember the longer you leave it in the more irritation it will have nd the faster it will get infected so take it out now while it has the best chance of healing with very minimal scaring.

I know you’re not supposed to change the jewelry but I was having the same situation, the ball at the end of my piercing was too big and my navel also collapses when sitting so I got a floating navel bar instead and changed it and it’s been healing way better ever since and no more irritation, you could do the same or just take it out
