Will my piercing close?

I got my nosed pierced around 8 months ago, and on friday i’m getting my tonsils removed where I have to take it out for about 6 hours. For some reason when i got my nosed pierced it hurt so bad i said i would never do something like that again. But i’m afraid it’s going to close. I have changed my piercing where i take it out for 10 minutes because of the difficulties of putting it back in, and it felt like it had began to close. I love the way it looks on me and have gotten so used to it i don’t want to take it out but obviously I have to.
What are the chances it will close?
