Lip Piercing: Types

Modern masters make punctures either on the lip itself (upper or lower), or on its internal bridle. Depending on the place and nature of the puncture, special ornaments are preferably chosen from hypoallergenic materials.

As a rule, so-called labrets are used to decorate the lips. Such ornaments are a ring with a ball and a hat that does not twist. By the way, experts do not recommend immediately after the puncture to use complex, ornate ornaments with pebbles. First you can use a simple "carnation" and replace it with something more refined after a complete healing of the puncture.

Modern masters use very interesting terminology. Here are the most popular types of piercing:

• Dahlia - piercing of the lip, in which the puncture imitates the rupture of the mouth, and the decoration is placed on the labial adhesions;
• Madonna and Monroe - in these cases, the puncture is done so that the "carnations" resembled a mole above the corner of the mouth:
• Medusa - with this piercing a puncture is made in the center of the labial groove, right under the nasal septum.

Lip Piercing: Some useful tips

As already mentioned, the puncture of the lips is often fraught with difficulties. Therefore, it is best to prepare in advance. To begin with, consult a dentist - let the doctor examine the oral cavity and determine the presence of contraindications. The point is that in the presence of caries or any diseases of the oral cavity, the puncture site can be infected.

Another important point is the choice of the salon and the master. Remember that lip piercing is a rather complicated procedure that can be entrusted only to an experienced specialist. Pay attention to the conditions in which the procedure will be performed - whether it is clean enough in the room, whether the instruments are regularly sterilized, etc. Carefully refer to the choice of jewelry, because some materials can cause a reaction of rejection or allergy - you do not need to save on this.

At the time of the procedure, you should be perfectly healthy. Any inflammatory or infectious disease can cause difficulty in healing the lips. Before the puncture, you need to clean your teeth and thoroughly rinse the mouth to avoid possible infection of the wound.

Lip Piercing: Implications

Of course, the puncture of the lips is a very unpleasant procedure. Nevertheless, you should prepare for the next weeks. First of all, it should be noted that in the first few days you will probably have problems with the diction - it's perfectly normal, very soon your speech will return to normal.

In the first 7-10 days, you need to carefully monitor food. The puncture site should quickly heal, so discard hot, cold, hot, sour and salty foods, since such products will cause pain. In addition, during the healing period, it is necessary to rinse the oral cavity after each meal. The mandatory recommendations include the treatment of the ring and puncture site with special antiseptic solutions - the procedure should be repeated at least twice a day. Do not remove the decoration.

In the first few weeks after the puncture, deep kisses and oral caresses are contraindicated - this can lead to infection of the wound.

Remember that the decoration can be changed only after full healing. If, despite all efforts, the puncture site continues to become inflamed and hurt, immediately consult a doctor.

As for the effects of piercing, the most frequent complications are just infections and inflammation of the tissues. If the decoration is incorrectly attached, the metal bezel can damage the enamel on the teeth.
