Dear Alley, Do you know what can cause a navel piercing to grow out? I’ve had multiple and each time it grows out. Never infected. Any help would be appreciated. 1st time was after about 2 yrs, 2nd time after about a year, 3rd was like 30 days!

There’s no perfect answer to this question because everyone’s body is just so completely different. A piercing that works for you might not work for someone else. With that being said, there are a couple reasons your belly ring might have grown out – here’s what I think:Belly rings can be affected by weight fluctuations – as you grow or thin-out around the belly region, it can affect the skin that holds your belly piercing. Over time, this can have an effect on the integrity of your belly ring, and it could grow out because of it.

There’s also a chance that you’re particularly sensitive to the material of the belly ring. Lots of individuals have surprising material sensitivities. You may have simply chosen a belly ring that was too big or too small for your personal anatomy. If this is the case, your body might have just treated your belly ring like a foreign invader and gradually pushed it out the same way it might attack a sliver.

Does your belly crease across your navel when you sit down? This constant motion of folding and twisting and turning can also have a negative affect on your navel piercing. With the constant movement, there’s potential for it to never truly settle in.

At the end of the day, these three “grow outs” might just mean your body just doesn’t agree with belly piercings. At this point, I wouldn’t recommend going and getting another belly piercing, as this will probably just happen again. But if you do decide you have to have that special navel piercing (and I don’t blame you!), be open and honest with your piercer about your experiences with these grow outs in the past. They will be able to guide you to make the best possible decision for your body.
