The healing time of a modification depends on your body's resistance. You can ask someone who has the same piercing to gain an idea of the length of time involved.

Protect the affected area from hair spray by covering it or if the mouth area by using an antibacterial mouthwash. Again, don't overuse alcohol. Do rinse after eating. If gold or silver is not used for decoration, use a non-toxic metal like surgical steel. Titanium is also fine. You should be mindful of any allergic reaction. Once healing has taken place, you are ready to face the world as a new bedecked you. If you have done your job post piercing, you will have good results and no problems.
