Which is why I said necessarily. What the article you linked says is pretty obvious to me: whether you leave your jewelry in until the site heals completely or you take it out before that makes a huge difference in the scarring/healing process. After that time period (it doesn't have to be a year) the outcome varies from person to person. Someone could keep the jewelry in for 10 years and their scar will fade faster than someone else who kept it in for 5 years.Whether a piercing will completely close up after the jewelry is taken out can indeed depend on how long the piercing is worn.
