When Can You Change a Septum Piercing

Can I change my septum piercing after a month?

If you have not had your septum pierced before, we recommend waiting at least 30 days before changing the jewelry. This will allow time for healing and to reduce the risk of infection.

How do I know if my septum piercing is healed?

It depends on who you ask, but the general rule of thumb is to wait until:

  • it’s no longer tender.
  • the minimum healing time has passed, usually at least 2 to 3 months.
  • it’s no longer weepy or crusty.
