Do lip piercing holes ever go away?

Do lip piercing holes ever go away?

Scar tissue prevents the hole from ever closing completely. However, the hole left from a piercing inside the mouth does eventually close, because the tissues inside the mouth are different from the skin tissues of the face.

How long does it take for a lip piercing to close up?

Lip piercings (like those in many areas of the body) have a tendency to shrink and close quickly, even when fully healed. The average minimum healing time for a lower lip piercing is 6–8 weeks (and 2–3 months for the upper lip), so yours might be barely healed.

Do lip piercings leave noticeable scars?

Are Lip Scars Common? You will have a scar if you get a lip or any other kind of piercing. Any time you puncture your skin, you are essentially wounding it and that includes piercings. Your body will work to heal that wound by replacing the damaged flesh with fibrous tissue, creating a bump or scar.
