I had a coolsculpting procedure yesterday and naturally was asked to remove my naval ring. I've had the piercing over a year so it was healed and I could slide the ring in and out very easily. After the procedure, I was asked to wait to reinsert the ring because there would be swelling. So I attempted that afternoon, and was able to push the ring halfway. Later that evening and today, I'm able to push it in at all. I'm worried that the piercing has closed?

Answer: This is most likely due to swelling as a fully mature piercing cant close that quickly.
