I've already searched for an answer, but none of the answers were specific enough. Does a lip piercing hole close up completely after taking out the jewelery or does the hole stay there but just closes up a little, only making it a little more difficult to put in the stud/ring. I ask because my ear is pierced and I haven't put in an earring for over 2 years but the hole is still there and capable of having an earring in it, I just have to push a little harder. The same thing happens to my mom's navel piercing. Any help would be appreciated.

But what if I want the hole to close up? After 6 months will the hole completely close up?
