You still don’t want the diameter of the ring to be too tight. If it is too small, It can actually cause migration. Because the ring is smaller then the space between the piercing and the ends of your ear/nose/lip, that extra tissue is going to end up compressed.
Just so, will a 6mm fit in my septum?
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to inner diameter and piercings. … The inner diameter that you wear depends on how high up your septum piercing is placed. You cannot base the diameter you wear on how large or small your nose is.
Also to know is, when can I get a smaller septum ring?
While the most tender and painful part of healing should be over in around 1-3 weeks, septum piercings take around 6 to 8 months to completely heal, and you can change the jewellery in 6 to 8 weeks providing it’s well-healed. You should try and leave it as long as possible, though.
