in your opinion, what’s the viability of healing a microdermal in the lip area? as in, in place of a standard labret or philtrum piercing?
thanks!

ok so i pierced my snake bite 2 days ago i did it myself i pierce everything on my body but anyway its been pussing,swelling,and it looks like the outside of the ring is about to go into my lip and on the inside its like the ring is pushing against my lip and my skin is hovering over the metal part in the back its kinda swore but not really
but i clean it everyday
1.sea salt (1 min)
2.clean it with dial soap
3.rinse my mouth with mouth wash
4.spray the outside with bactine
5.put A&D ointment on the outside!
idk whats wrong! i want it to heal
plz help meee!!!!
The reason your lip may be pussing, swelling and embedding into your lip is very likely from the following reasons:
1. Cleaning your piercing with a very chemical, strong Dial antibacterial soap
2. Rinsing your mouth out with very chemical, strong mouthwash
3. Spraying it with a numbing astringent like Bactine
4. Gumming it up and preventing the wound from breathing by applying A&D ointment on it.
5. You’ve pierced yourself with clearly no knowledge of piercing aftercare which leads me to believe you very likely haven’t done a lot of research into any other technical aspects of body piercing (ie jewelry size and metal quality, oral anatomy and aseptic technique)
I’d see a piercer and have them check out the placement and jewelry choice and completely cease all of your current aftercare procedure save for warm water rinses on the outside of your mouth to remove crusties and practise a regular oral hygeine regime (brush your teeth as per usual) and rinse your mouth out with a mild salt water solution after anything you eat or drink. (And this is only AFTER you’ve ensured you have a piercing that’s done and placed and jewelry is worn even remotely correctly.)

I had my lip pierced with a titanum BCR. Bad idea, I suffered numerous problems, like swelling and irratation for about three months. Just as I thought it was calming down, it would flare up again. So I listened to friends with piercings, and went to get a labret stud put in. I’ve had a black bioplast stud put in. However, when it was put in, it bled a little.
It has now been about another three months since I have had the stud put in, and I’ve had NO problems reguarding irratation. And ive even been hit in the mouth.
My problem is, that I’m still getting crusties. Is this a problem at all, or is my body not compeletely happy with bioplast? If not, then should i switch to a titanium stud?
But I’m terrified of it getting irratated again. Also, I don’t want it to close up when I’m switching it out, because I love this piercing.
Thankyou for the help. BME rocks 
Flatback barbells are the best choice for jewelry for initial lip piercings. However, bendy barbells made of bioplast can be irritating for new piercings because they move around so much.
You’re likely still having crusties forming as a result of the trauma of having the the jewelry changed and wearing jewelry that isn’t suited for long-term wear in the body (aka “Implant Grade”).
Find a piercer who carries implant grade steel or titanium or can order some in for you and have them safely switch your jewelry over for you.

I want to get my cheeks pierced but i was thinking about getting microdermals instead ,but some piercer told me i wouldnt get the dimple effect . Is he right?
You would not get the same dimple effect with surface anchors as you would with actual cheek piercngs.
You may not get any dimple effect even with the piercings, but it’s much more likely.
Many people find that surface anchors in replacement of oral piercings (labrets, monroes/philtrums, cheeks, etc) don’t work out as well in the long run due to the constant movement of the tissue in the area during speech and various oral contact with others, food, pillows, etc.

Okay, I got my monroe pierced 2 weeks ago and it’s been healing fine I am just so annoyed with it. Maybe it took this to figure out facial piercings are not for me. Would it be ok to take the piercing out now since I do not want it anymore or do I have to wait longer? And I know it will leave a little scar, but what could I use to minimize scarring as much as possible? Thanks for your time!
If you don’t want the piercing any more then remove it. The sooner you remove it, the less likelihood of a conspicuous scar (not that piercing scars tend to be that noticeable anyway). Just keep the area clean and free of any products until it closes over.

i have a couple questions regarding upper lip frenulum piercings (’smiley’/’scrumper’) and i thought ‘why not?’ since there doesn’t appear to be any questions on here referring to them, anyway.
first question: is it virtually impossible to heal a smiley? i say virtually because i’ve seen some pretty… weirdly placed piercings heal up. so basically what are the chances of it actually healing is what i’m trying to ask, i suppose.
second question: how long, on average, do they last without rejection?
third question: are gum erosion/teeth problems highly common when having this piercing?
thank you very much for your time.
It is certainly not impossible to heal up a lip frenulum piercing! In fact, they tend to heal up quite quickly. It’s a very thin bit of tissue making it a relatively small wound and oral tissue tends to heal up nicely.
Unfortunately due to the instability of this thin tissue, frenulum piercings are prone to migrating out moreso than other piercings would. Wearing a ring in as small a diameter as possible for your anatomy will help lessen this risk as will the aftercare, jewelry material and how you wear it. Pulling the jewelry and playing with it will increase the risk of it migrating down and out.
When considering a lip frenulum piercing, it is important to consider the risk that there may be risk to oral tissue as a result of having jewelry rubbing against it constantly.

hi there!
I got snakebites around 7 months ago, one of them healed just fine, the other i think i got an infection and had some trouble with it, so after taking antibiotics, and much to my disaproval having to remove the labret stud, I am left with a mucocele, ( http://www.lumpinmouth.com/headlines/ this site really helped out).
I want to repierce my lip, and am thinking on having the mucocele removed, my question is if you know of any cases like this, and the probability of it reocurring?
Thank you, André
If what you have is, in fact, a mucocele, you should consult with your oral surgeon regarding removal and having the area re-pierced. As mucoceles are often caused by localized trauma, you may put yourself at risk of developing another one if you re-pierce the area again.
I personally do not pierce around irritated tissue and would not pierce through or around a client’s mucocele, should I suspect they had one.

I was thinking of getting my lip pierced, but I wanted to know how bad is the scarring when you take it out? I don’t want to have a huge hole/scar a few years from now if I decide to take it out.. thanks.
No piercing should be done without accepting the risk of scarring. In most cases a small gauge lip piercing should leave only a minimal scar resembling an open pore. However, the time it takes to get to this point will vary based on your bodies healing, the time you had the piercing in and if it was stretched any (speaking mainly of stretching from use and not referring to intentional stretching for larger jewelry).

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!

Hello.
My labret is about 6 months old. It’s beautifully healed and pierced with a labret stud. I was recently thinking about switching to a ring. How do i measure the diameter of the ring firstly, and secondly will this switch make me more prone to migration?
Thanks
Two measurements - the length of the piercing and the distance between the piercing and the top of your lip. The larger of the two measurements is the diameter you require. A good studio should be able to provide this service for you as it’s easier with a pair of verniers.
If it is fully healed, you are good to go with a ring without fear of migration (providing you have the correct size).
