Contemporary body piercing practices emphasize the use of safe body piercing materials, frequently utilizing specialized tools developed for the purpose. Body piercing is an invasive procedure with some risks, including allergic reaction, infection, excessive scarring, and unanticipated physical injuries, but such precautions as sanitary piercing procedures and careful aftercare are emphasized to minimize the likelihood of encountering serious problems. The healing time required for a body piercing may vary widely according to placement, from as little as a month for some genital piercings to as much as two full years for the navel.
To correct a split earlobe, a widened piercing hole, or a stretched ear piercing, a surgical procedure is necessary. Facial plastic surgeons, ear, nose, and throat doctors (ENTs), and dermatologic surgeons are among the physicians that can perform these procedures.
