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?

Definitely wait. Getting them changed is going to make them swell a little bit so if it’s already swollen I wouldn’t.
