My question is in regards to my getting a piercing over, or else close by enough to cover, two diagonal beauty marks I have near my cheek/lip (picture attached).
First of all, I am not planning on getting this done ANYTIME soon: I’m too young to be making decisions like that right away. But, I am interested in maybe getting it done in the future.
I assume that they would have to be microdermals because of the location. I wanted to know if this would be completely out of the question, or if not, if there are any other options aside from microdermals.
Any advice or comments you may have are appreciated.
By the looks of it, you wouldn’t be able to have straight-through piercings like a monroe in those areas based on the oral anatomy alone.
I also don’t like surface anchors in place or oral piercings whatsoever. Too much movement, in my opinion and they end up leaving nice scars when they reject out.
Another issue is piercing through those beauty marks. As a rule, I don’t pierce through any abnomal tissue like moles. I’d double check with your doctor about the idea of piercing through them. If he/she doesn’t think it’s a great idea, there are other options for mole removal and laser treatment.

I got snakebites over a year ago and i was told by the piercer when asked about the skin growing over the back of the disc: “That’s normal, the skin will fall away after a week or so and leave a depression in your lip where the disc will be flush with your lip”
Flash forward a year later, my snake bites are still embedded in my lip. I have tried a few times, different methods of removing them from forcefully pushing on them, cutting my lip, pushing them back and tonguing them for a few days to try and weaken the skin. Nothing has worked.
I want them out. I can’t get a decent job, and frankly they are uneven from being different depths in the back of my lip and it looks ridiculous. I have heard surgery being the only option. Any had this and know how much it costs? What about rejection, is there a way to force rejection out the front without leaving a huge scar on my face?
I am relatively clueless about piercing things, this was my first (And last >:I) piercing ever and i just did what the piercer told me too. If anyone has any ideas on how to remove them (Preferably with as little pain as possible) That would be great.
Freshly pierced labrets (center or off-center alike) can be safely pierced with studs that have extra length to accommodate excess swelling. This will minimize over-swelling and the chance of your disk(s) embedding on the inside of your mouth.
If it got to the point that your jewelry was completely embedded on the inside, it’s unlikely that “the skin [would] fall away after a week”. It sounds as though your labrets have been transformed into a couple deep oral dermal anchors.
At this point you will likely have to have the inside of each piercing lanced to pop the disks out. A surgeon or doctor can do this, but you can also go to a piercer who is experienced with this sort of thing. Cosmetic surgery is expensive, emergency surgery by a doctor may be cheaper. An experienced piercer will likely be even cheaper than that. The procedure should be pretty quick and easy though, regardless of who does it.
Rejection is not a route I would recommend choosing. This would likely do more damage than good.

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!

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.
