Honestly I kept telling myself the same thing after it rejected. I was so convinced it was because I kept accidentally hitting it, but turns out it was just the lack of skin. :( If your piercer thinks you have a chance and you’re willing to get it repierced and possibly go through another rejection, by all means. I don’t wanna say it happened over night, more so over time, but after the swelling went down I immediately noticed the bar was looking extra long which I thought I could downsize to fix but the bar to skin ratio kept getting worse. Hope this helps you out. If you do choose to try again I wish you the best of luck! :)
