I got my sternum pierced today with a one inch surface bar. Because I am quite slim the woman told me my piercing will be shallow and more likely to reject. I had a plaster put over it and when I took it off 5 hours later the bar seems to be sticking out more than it was, is the piercing rejecting already or is this due to swelling going down? Sorry I haven’t been able to include a picture.

A picture would definitely be helpful in this situation. However, I can pretty much guarantee you your piercing hasn’t started to reject just yet. It will take a bit more time than that.

If you are rather slim I probably would have preferred not to use a surface bar quite that long, but without being able to see and feel your skin in that area, that’s a very generalized statement.
