Does anyone know how long it takes for a nose piercing to heal?

Question

Im getting one very soon and im not 100% sure how long the healing process takes

Answer 1

It is 6-8 weeks if you clean it well and take care of it. The nose is an easy place to get an infection.  So try and keep it clean as much as possibile

.

good luck!!

Answer 2

They say normally 6 weeks,but in my experience 3 months.

Mine had some complications though in the form of a keloid,but is perfectly fine now.

After around 8 weeks is when i started to have trouble.3 months after the piercing it was fine,now a year later it still is.

I messed around with mine a lot though and moved it around quite a bit,so clean it regularly and the less movement to the jewelry the better as it irritates it.

It should heal quicker then.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Nose piercing take btw 3-6 months to completely heal. For anyone who tells you it takes 2-6-8 weeks have no idea what they are talking about. Even though everyone heals differently the nose is made up of cartilage which generally takes months to heal. I also suggest you leave in the original nose stud till its completely healed or atleast for 3 months, changing out the jewelry earlier and constantly can delay the actual healing process it can also cause infection and hypertrophic scarring (small boil like bump) to occur. Keeping up with the aftercare which consist of cleansing the piercing 2-3 times a day w/ warm sea salt soaks can also help heal the piercing  healthy and infection free. Also make sure to get it pierced by a pro piercer who uses hollow needles instead of the gun, the piercing gun can shatter the cartilage which can cause infection and delayed healing process. Good Luck.
