It will probably take around 2 to 3 months to heal fully. You should continue to bathe it in a saltwater/ saline solution and wiggle the bar up and down (gently) daily for 4-6 weeks after having it pierced.

I believe the healing process depends on how an individual takes care of the belly button piercing. Mine, I used peroxide and triple anti biotic cream and left it uncovered. It will heal in about 4 months as far as the pain goes. To ensure that it does not close up it may take one to two years to heal.

It depends on the person. Most piercings take 2-3 weeks to fully heal. If you have any concerns, just make sure you keep it clean.

Some say a week, some say a month. Mine took a very long time to heal but it has never closed once in 8 years.
