Hello,

I have a few questions about vertical labret piercing.

Is it true that this piercing commonly rejects? I heard many diffrent opinions and I’m not sure now.

Is vertical labret pierced with 16g jewellery more prone to rejection than that pierced with 14g or there’s no difference?

Does vertical labret heal more or less in the same time as the normal labret or does it take an longer to heal it?

Thanks in advance for the answer.

The main reason vertical labrets are more prone to rejection is because most are done on clients that are not suited for them. To be done on an ideal candidate requires a pronounced bottom lip that protrudes from the face. Basically it needs to be able to be pierced through the lip from bottom to top, not a surface piercing on the lip. In most cases a 14 ga curved barbell with a slight bit of room for swelling will be ideal for this piercing. As for healing it generally will be a tad longer than a normal labret, but it’s more interesting and far better for your teeth and gums!
