Septum piercings take around 6 to 8 months to heal, and you can change the jewellery in 6 to 8 weeks if it is well-healed. The healing process should take its course if you leave it as long as possible. It depends on the type of piercing you have and how long it takes to heal.
If you’ve had a piercing for a long period of time, it may take longer than 6-8 months for the piercing to fully heal and be ready to wear again. However, if you’re new to piercing, you may only need to wait a few weeks for it to be fully healed and ready for wear.

What nose shape is best for a septum piercing?
Septum piercing works best on noses with wider septums as more narrows may not provide enough surface area for the piercing to penetrate. If you have a narrow nose, you may need to use a larger needle to get the most out of this technique. Piercing the nose is a great way to show off your piercings, but it’s not the only way you can do it.
