When can I downsize my tongue piercing?
2 – 4 weeks

How do I know what size tongue bar I need?
Unless your piercer recommended a specific length for you based on the thickness of your tongue, try downsizing to a 5/8″ straight barbell first. You can try a size longer or shorter if you find the standard 5/8″ length isn’t a good fit for you.

It’s unfortunate that you didn’t know before you got your lip pierced, but any time you get an oral piercing, it stimulates the salivary glands, which would explain your increased drooling.
