Nipple piercing “sinking” in on one side

Hello out there. I just got both nipples pierced last weekend. So far so good on the right side. My left nipple however seems to be having problems.

The end of the barbell is sinking into the piercing a bit and when I nudge it back over, it stays put for a bit then tries to sink back in again.

I went to an APP certified piercer, so I’m wondering if a possible difference in breast size is enough to make a difference in length of post needed in the left nipple. I’m going to call the shop soon as they open tomorrow but needless to say I’m a little anxious about this and I’m worried about how its going to affect the healing process.

Just as a heads-up, the APP doesn’t “certify” piercers, although it’s great that your piercer is an APP member. It sounds like the barbell might be slightly too short for the swelling/healing process, and your piercer will undoubtedly be happy to help you out and change the jewellery over to something better suited. It’s not a bad-piercer call, just as an FYI - we’re not psychic, and while good piercers do their best to guesstimate how much room you might need on the jewellery, we sometimes guess wrong!
