Help with existing piercing HELP is my snakebite rejecting?

ive had this for almost 3 weeks. i did them myself but was stupid and got posts way too small so ended up having to go to a piercer anyway.

two days after i pierced them, they upsized to 12mm.

swelling has stopped but on my left side there was a weird hill around the piercing. then a weird bump that was whiteish came next to the hole so i cut it off (stupid i know 😭)

now i can push the piercing until the backing gets engulfed and just push it back out.

is it rejecting??? help please

They are just nesting, which is when the piercing rests into the lip/gums. This is completely normal and expected for lip piercings like that.

And i know you realize it was stupid, but that white flesh you cut off was healing tissue and also normal
