I got my sternum pierced two days ago, and the idiot that did it used a PTFE bar, even after I asked if he could use a surface bar. I was just wondering if it would still reject if I go to a different piercer and get them to put a surface bar through, or if I should take it out now, let it heal and then get it redone properly.

You very well may be able to save it, but since it is a surface piercing, there are never guarantees that you will be able to keep it for very long.

For all of you that are wanting to do corsets with surface barbells, painfulpleasures.com sells surface barbells with slave ends for $14.99. They range from 1/2" to 1" in length. The only problem is the threads are external, which most piercers do not like to use. But it is a better option than trying to put in CBRs. Even fully healed surface piercings can reject if there is trauma to the area or jewelry is changed to something that causes pressure to the skin.

Ok so I got a two surface piercings on my lower stomach about four days ago, and I have had no worries till I started reading about rejections and such...no I worry that they may get pushed out. My piercer used curved barbells. How do I know if they are going to stay or not? (I am new to the whole piercing thing. They were my first major piercing, other than my ears.) |

Curved barbells? That is how you know they will reject, haha. Look for the skin to get tight on the jewelry, scar "trails" leading away from the ends of the jewelry, the skin becoming transparant, and in general, the piercings refusing to heal.

but they act like they are healing. Should I just leave them alone or change them out for something else.

I would just leave them alone at this point. Even if you were to change to surface barbells (the only proper jewelry for surface piercings) the piercing was still done incorrectly and would still likely reject. If you are (very) lucky, they will heal and you won't have any issues in the future. But more than likely you will start to see signs of rejection in the next few months. Take them out at the first sign of rejection to minimize scarring. And if you want to get them done again, go to a different piercer who uses surface barbells, and ideally the punch and taper method to insert them.

my collarbone surfaces are going pretty well
however, i get a bit uneasy because one side feels significantly closer to the surface then the other bar, and this one is also redder its so strange how one is virtually painless (they are only 6 weeks old) and the other one is really tender! im not sure its a way i sleep or something.. |
