after much debate about whether to keep my philtrum/medusa piercing or not, i have decided to retire it due to placement. it did not “align” with my vertical labret piercing as well as i would like, and i would like to have it re-pierced. i know that oral piercing tend to heal a lot quicker than others, however, how long should i wait before getting it re-pierced, seeing as i would like a different placement to where it was pierced orignally? obviously, i would like my baby back as quick as possible thanks a lot!

Unfortunately this is hard to answer via the internet without first knowing how long you have had your philtrum for. Personally I’d suggest waiting until the pathway is completely sealed and stabilized, which could technically mean waiting a few months after removal, to even a bit longer. But without knowing how old it is, or seeing how well healed the piercing is, its hard to give you an accurate answer as to how long you will need to wait before re-piercing it.
