Gauging my lip from a 14 to a 16.?

Question

I had a 14 gauge captive bead ring in my lip now its a 16. DO I have to go through the whole healing process again?

Answer 1

So you are going back to a 14 ga, correct? The difference between the two is relatively small, it shouldn't be difficult whatsoever. Dampen the ring and put it in right after taking out the old one. Just go a little slow with it and it should eventually slip it with just a little pinch.

Answer 2

It depends on how your skin reacts to the stretching.  It shouldn't be as bad as it was at first though.

Answer 3

you didn't stretch your lip you downsized if you were a 14g going to a 16g.

Answer 4

take it out it looks trashy

Answer 5

Is it your LIP or your Labret?

Either way 16 to 14 shouldn't be too big of a deal. If there is an excesive amount of pain from you stretching it you might have an infection or something. There will be some pain and some healing because of it being bigger but you will not have to wait the same length of time.  

Answer 6

You wont have to go through the whole healing process again its not that  big of a difference in size. It will just be soar for a little a week maybe at the most but just make sure to clean it till it feels better.

Answer 7

um ew.
