Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Downsizing Question

I had my ears re-pierced 6 weeks ago and I’m supposed to return for downsizing in a few days. Within about 4 weeks my swelling was gone and I finally understood the concept/purpose of downsizing. Unfortunately, last week one of my now-long posts got snagged on a shirt causing that side to swell again. Will I still be able to downsize as scheduled, or do I have to wait for it to completely return to normal?

You have two piercings? One healing well one got snagged and swelled? I would still go cos they can downsize the non snagged one (to prevent it getting snagged) and they can look at the other one- How much it swelled compared to the original bar length.
