Healing and Recovery Times for Piercings Based on Body Area

The greatest enjoyment of a piercing is felt from the moment the piercing has healed. The first step to better healing is knowing how long the wound will take to heal, as well as maintaining proper care of the piercing during the healing process.

As we have discussed in an article titled: “PIERCING AND THE PAIN RANKING”, each part of the body is different when it comes to piercing and placing a piercing.

This is also true regarding the time needed for healing. Knowing the healing time for each part of the body and following the proper care can help you have a healthy piercing. Let’s look at the healing times based on the pierced area:

Earlobe

It is the part that heals the fastest, with an average of 6 to 8 weeks.

Ear cartilage

Just as it is a bit more painful, cartilage also takes a bit longer than the lobe. Its healing takes 8 to 12 months.

Nose cartilage

This cartilage requires less healing time, being 2 to 4 months.

Nasal septum

One of the most common piercings, it requires a total healing time of 6 to 8 months.

Eyebrow

A favorite, with a healing time of 6 to 8 weeks.

Nasal bridge

The nasal bridge will require 8 to 10 weeks of healing.

Tongue

With good care, it will be fully healed in 6 weeks.

Lip

Although it may not look like it, because it looks good in less time, the lip takes 2 to 4 months to heal.

Navel

It has a healing time of 4 to 6 months.

Nipple

One of the longest in the healing process is the nipple area, which requires between 8 and 12 months to be completely healed.

The mentioned healing times are approximate during a normal healing process, but if there are complications such as infections, the times may be extended. This is why you should pay special attention to the healing process. We hope you can plan your piercing’s healing in advance and avoid complications.
