How long before I can change my belly button ring?

So I got my belly button pierced on June 7th and no I'm not planning to change it soon my piercer told me I could change it 4-6 weeks after the piercing got done and I'm not really planning on going anywhere else this summer where I can show it off I just this one is getting old and boring, although I'm not going anywhere else this summer where I'm gonna show it off I really don't wanna wait 6 months before I change it so how long do I have to wait before I can change it?

    4 to 6 weeks.

    4-6 weeks is completely ridiculous....you need a better piercer.

    Navel piercings take 6-12 months to fully heal. Changing a piercing before it's healed increases your risk of infection, rejection, migration, excessive scar tissue like hypertrophic scarring, damages the healing tissues, increases healing time, irritation, among other complications.

    your piercer is waaaay off, try 6-12 months. that's how long they take to heal. Changing it sooner can cause infection or rejection.
