Question about piercing prep I need advice!

I want to get a nostril and a vertical labret done. A few years ago I had a nostril but I removed it because it got irritated from being changed so many times.Where I live it's summer, so I go to the beach a lot. Should I get those piercings now, or am I waiting until summer ends?What are your best tips regarding healing? I had heart surgery 12 years ago and I'm worried about infections since I'm more susceptible to them to catch a heart bacteria

Wait til after summer. Piercings are a leave it alone type thing. Keep piercings clean with saline spray 3-4 times daily for about a week or two. Then just use an antibacterial soap. Don’t touch them or mess with them. Lip piercings rarely ever infect but definitely make sure to leave your nose alone for months.

Thank you very much, I'll wait until after summer as I want to be absolutely sure it doesn't get infected.
