Lip ring. Lip piercing - a harmless decoration or a procedure that has unpleasant consequences? upper lip piercing

MEDUSA PIERCING

The sphere of piercing is very popular, it is quite difficult today to meet a person without a pierced part of the body. This service is popular and is provided in almost all beauty salons, which also provide jewelry for each type of puncture. Of the many types of body modification, piercing called "jellyfish" occupies a special place. This is an amazing, original and very beautiful type of body modification that elegantly adorns the upper lip, or rather the groove above the upper lip. This type is most popular among the representatives of the weaker half, men rarely choose this type of puncture. There are no nerve endings and blood vessels in the groove area, so the puncture in this place is painless and safe. But still, it is not recommended to independently carry out the procedure for piercing the groove at home, because it is necessary to know the puncture technology followed and have good experience in order to form the correct channel.

Medusa piercing has been known to us since 1990. The fashion designer, and part-time hairdresser, came up with the idea to pierce the upper lip in the center. This unusual type of lip decoration was liked by many, and soon began to be in great demand. The puncture acquired this name because of its location - in the center of the groove above the upper lip. Less commonly, the lower jellyfish is also performed - that is, in the center under the lower lip. But, this type of puncture is quite dangerous, so only qualified specialists practiced it.

PAINFUL PROCEDURE

Medusa piercing takes only a few minutes, taking into account the preliminary processing of the pierced site and the further introduction of the earring. As mentioned above, there are no nerve endings in the groove area, so the puncture in this area is practically not noticeable. Anesthesia is not usually used, but much depends on the pain threshold of the client himself. With a low pain threshold, the master will easily perform anesthesia and the procedure will become almost imperceptible. Only when the needle passes through the tissue can you feel slight discomfort.

But in the implementation of the lower jellyfish, the use of anesthetic drugs is mandatory. The fact is that in the region of the lower lip there are many nerve plexuses and blood vessels, so the puncture will be quite painful. Before the piercing procedure, it is important to first consult with an allergist in order to find out if the client is allergic to any component of the anesthetic agents. Do not neglect the allergy test, because the occurrence of an allergic reaction can lead to quite serious consequences.

After the end of the effect of anesthesia, you may feel pain at the puncture site. This is an absolutely normal reaction of the body. With proper, regular care for the damaged area, no complications should occur.

IMPLEMENTATION OF PUNCHES

The procedure is carried out in a specially designated room, with the necessary equipment, tools, preparations and materials. Sterility in the workplace must be at the highest level. The working instrument must be in an autoclave for sterilization. The master must carry out work in disposable gloves, with further sterilization of hands and working tools.

Implementation of the puncture:

• disinfection of the place for a future puncture;
• marking is carried out;
• anesthesia is applied;
• the clamp captures the lip;
• a through channel is made with a special needle;
• insertion into the channel of the earring;
• re-treatment of the site with an antiseptic.

When performing the lower jellyfish, the implementation of the channel is accompanied by bleeding and pain. The healing period lasts about four weeks.

CARE RULES

Medusa piercing requires careful and regular treatment, because its inner part is located in the oral cavity. During the first time from the piercing, some discomfort, problematic eating and problems with discussion are possible. But all problems quickly pass as the body gets used to a foreign object.

After the implementation of the puncture, you should limit yourself to food, alcohol and smoking for the next four hours.

How to care for a jellyfish piercing:

• until the channel heals, limit the intake of sour, spicy, hot, hard and cold foods;
• limit the use of alcoholic and low-alcohol drinks;
• after each meal, rinse the mouth with an antiseptic;
• to remove the tumor at the site of the piercing will help lollipops from a sore throat;
• limit kissing until the puncture is completely healed;
• include in the diet foods rich in vitamin B;
• until the canal is fully healed, do not move, pull or remove the jewelry;

After the channel has fully healed, it is not recommended to remove the earring for longer than one day, because the wound can heal quite quickly.

POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES

With careless observance of the rules for the processing of piercing, the following complications may occur:

• long healing period;
• inflammation of the gums, damage to tooth enamel;
• inflammation at the site of the damaged area;
• the occurrence of pus;
• rejection of the product by the body.

Important! Do not agree to a piercing procedure at home, an unskilled "master" at the slightest mistake can infect you with serious diseases: hepatitis, HIV, AIDS. Also, with the wrong technology for performing the lower jellyfish, there is a high risk of hurting important nerve plexuses and thereby disfiguring the face.

Remember! It is necessary to apply only to a proven, qualified specialist whose portfolio of work already contains the piercing option you need. The puncture should be carried out using carefully sterilized instruments and a disposable needle.

If, nevertheless, you got to an inexperienced master, and after the procedure you feel swelling for a long time, there is redness, and there is a yellowish color around the wound, immediately seek help from a specialist, because these may be the first symptoms of infection.

HOW TO CHOOSE A MEDUSA PIERCING PRODUCT?

Before the piercing procedure, the client and the master first discuss the choice of the earring. The master provides his recommendations for choosing jewelry, or he offers to choose a product from the options that are in the salon. There are quite a lot of earrings for this type of piercing, but they differ only in the type of fastener, of which there are two main types.

1. Microbananas - are curved rods, the wraps of which can be of different shapes and colors.

2. Labrets - are in great demand, especially when modifying the lips. The earring has a flat base, the outer part of the earring is decorative, it can be changed to any preferred wrapping.

The main thing when choosing jewelry is to pay attention to what material the product is made of. The safest product materials are:

• titanium is a hypoallergenic alloy, quite light and comfortable when wearing the product;
• gold - it is important that the alloy sample is at least 750, otherwise there is a high risk of oxidation and rejection of the earring;
• steel for implantation - it does not contain nickel (unlike medical steel), it is absolutely safe to wear;
• hypoallergenic plastic is the most common material for the manufacture of piercing products.

Among the mass of options for body modification, it is the modification of the lips that is especially popular. Basically, this variant of piercing is chosen by girls, although among the representatives of the stronger half there are also lip piercings preferred. It is not surprising, because there are many types of punctures in the modification of the lips, everyone can choose the right option for themselves.

As for the jellyfish piercing, this option is still preferred by girls, women, because it looks very elegant and unusual. Decoration is chosen, as a rule, of a small size, with a neat pebble. So that the piercing does not attract too many prying eyes, but only emphasizes the style of its owner, gives it a certain zest.

Body modification has always been and is extremely popular. This sphere is full of a mass of options for decorating any part of the body. Do not be afraid to become brighter, complement your image with a twist, emphasize your style with the help of a piercing service, and enjoy an unusual and original body decoration.

Medusa piercing is a puncture in the middle of the philtrum. It is located slightly below the nasal septum. Its exotic name puncture Medusa received in 1990 thanks to the model and hairdresser from Toronto - Kerrick.

As a decoration for this type of piercing, a labret is used, which is decorated with a ball on the outside and is flat on the other side. Usually piercers use Teflon, titanium labrets or surgical steel as decoration. Jewelry, like the piercing itself, should take into account human physiology. Incorrect puncture and incorrectly chosen jewelry will contribute to the occurrence of various diseases of the teeth and gums. In order to reduce the risks of danger, contact the Tortuga tattoo parlor. It employs professionals with extensive experience who know their business and will gladly make you a beautiful piercing.

The healing time of the Medusa piercing reaches approximately 3-4 weeks. To minimize all dangers, a puncture requires some care. To complete healing of the wound, the owner of such a piercing needs to wash his mouth with antibacterial soap or a special solution every day after eating. The wound healing process will be accelerated if coffee, alcoholic beverages, yeast products, and sweets are excluded from the diet for a month. Also, contact with the piercing can only be done by washing your hands.

Medusa piercing rejections are almost never encountered. A great danger exists only when using low-quality jewelry or improper care. And also you can not allow infection to enter the wound and start the healing process.

The main advantage of lip piercing is its effectiveness. It is impossible not to notice it: it is a bright addition to your image, make-up or even just to your mood. Our salon will be happy to help you choose one or another lip piercing.

Lips are one of the most sensual and sexy parts of the face. It is not surprising that people have long sought to highlight, emphasize them with piercings. But some are still afraid: “It won’t work for me, such a puncture will only aggravate the shortcomings.” Well, the usual thick ring or circular may indeed look completely unattractive, but a miniature diamond or iridescent opal that matches the color of eyes, hair or favorite lipstick is another matter.

Lip piercing and health

It is desirable to make a puncture in such a way that the decoration, if possible, does not touch the teeth. Or at least didn't do it all the time. From the fact that the metal will rub against the tooth enamel all the time, it can begin to collapse, as a result - caries and other troubles.

The installation of low-quality jewelry adds fuel to the fire: they oxidize, peel off and aggravate the pathological process. That is why a high-quality and safe piercing is a piercing made first of all by an experienced master with high-quality jewelry from implantation titanium and nickel-free gold.

Safety also includes the presence of an autoclave in the studio, which is guaranteed to destroy HIV, hepatitis and other viruses and bacteria. Dry-heat, ultraviolet cabinets are absolutely not suitable for these purposes, just as soaking in solutions, boiling, rubbing with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, and so on is not suitable.

Lip piercing. Kisses and more

There is an opinion that lip piercings interfere with kissing - in most cases this is not the case. Sometimes it really takes time to get used to the piercing - both to its owner and partner. However, some lip piercing options only increase sensitivity by stimulating the partner's erogenous zones directly with the jewelry. In addition, gentle nibbling on the area around the puncture is also very pleasant.

Of course, we are talking about a healed piercing.

Lip piercings and braces

Some guys come up with the idea that braces and lip piercings will interfere with each other even when they crossed the threshold of the studio. This point should be considered in advance. Some punctures are indeed better to be postponed until the braces are removed - for example, Medusa, Horizontal Labret, Ashley and some other options.

At the same time, each case is discussed individually, so it is better to sign up for a consultation with the master and pick up jewelry in the studio in order to know exactly how it will all look in the end.

Lip piercing and jewelry

To pierce the lips, various jewelry can be used, which the master selects: straight labrets with beautiful wrapping, “bananas”, rings, circulars.

However, whatever the shape of the product, the material must always be of high quality, so we recommend using titanium or nickel-free gold in both fresh and old punctures. They do not emit harmful substances that are allergens and not only inhibit the healing of the canal, but sometimes make it impossible in principle.

The piercing procedure should proceed approximately as follows:

1. The client chooses the jewelry he likes from those offered by the master.

2. The master advises the client on what should not be done for some time after the puncture (eating very spicy or very salty foods, drinking too hot tea or coffee, drinking alcohol, smoking). And also learns about the nuances of the client's health, which can affect the piercing or its healing.

3. The master takes the jewelry to be sterilized in an autoclave along with napkins, a disposable piercing needle and gloves.

4. While sterilization is in progress, the client fills out a questionnaire in which he indicates detailed information about his health and studies the care instructions, which he takes with him.

5. Sterilization completed. The client goes to the office.

6. The master takes out sterilized instruments, treats the puncture site with a disinfectant surgical scrub, puts on sterile gloves and marks the puncture site.

7. With a sterile disposable needle, a puncture is made exactly along the markup, the jewelry is inserted immediately after the needle.

Lip piercing - healing and care

The initial healing time after this procedure takes about four weeks. After the lip piercing procedure, you will have to give up the use of citrus fruits, alcoholic beverages and kisses for some time. To avoid infection, it is better to entrust the lip piercing to a qualified specialist who will competently carry out the procedure and give detailed instructions for further care - this is exactly what they do in St.Scalpelburg.

If you wear a labret, try not to open your mouth too wide, as the disk on the inside can touch your teeth. You can shave as usual, but avoid getting aftershave lotion (especially alcohol-based) on the healing piercing.

Do not share lipstick and lip balm with anyone. During healing, you should not use balms in jars: they are applied with a finger, from which an infection can enter the wound.

Plaque can build up on the inside of the stain, especially where the disc meets the shaft. This area is sometimes difficult to reach with a toothbrush, so it's best to use dental floss to keep the dye clean.

Jewelry can sink a little into the mucous membrane of the lips - this is normal; however, if you feel that the jewelry has gone too deep/begins to sink heavily, contact your piercer immediately. During the healing process, the outer side of the puncture (the one directly on the face) sometimes changes color, usually pinkish or reddish during the first two weeks after the procedure. Frequent baths with saline solution will help to solve this problem.

Decoration replacement

A good piercer will inform you before or during the procedure about the need to reduce the length of the labret after healing is complete. Depending on the size of the rod and how the healing process went, you may have to shorten the length of the rod several times; wait until the piercing is completely healed before inserting any snug jewelry.

Saliva can make changing jewelry on your own a daunting task: small pieces will constantly slip between your fingers; keep gloves and one or two clean paper towels handy - you will most likely need them. A three-part interchangeable disc labret will be more difficult to screw on unaided due to their flat shape and small size.

FAQ

DOES LIP PIERCING PAIN?

It doesn't hurt much more than an accidental lip biting, and it happens just as quickly.

HOW LONG DOES LIP PIERCING HEAL?

It will take 3-4 months for complete healing, but if all our recommendations are followed, the swelling will subside already in the second week, and the puncture will no longer cause discomfort in 3-4 weeks. Then it remains only to remember that your piercing is still healing and not to “play” with the jewelry once again. If you need to shave / paint, you should do it very carefully, without pulling on the jewelry and without bringing cosmetics into the still fresh puncture.

DON'T YOU NEED TO SCROLL THE DECORATION ALWAYS?

In no case. Jewelry made of implantation titanium has a hard smooth surface, and the mythical "ingrowth" cannot occur. But to tear off a crust from dried natural secretions from a still fresh wound so that the still fragile tissue of the piercing channel begins to scar, you can easily.

WHEN CAN I VISIT THE BATH\POOL\SAUNA\SOLARIUM?

A fresh puncture already has to deal with sweat and dust, so you should not expose it to unnecessary external stimuli for as long as possible. The minimum terms are 2 weeks for a solarium, 4 weeks for a swimming pool, and 6 weeks for baths and saunas. After this period, you can slowly start going there, but immediately after the visit, wipe it with an antiseptic.

WHAT SHOULD BE THE PRIMARY DECORATION?

The shape and size of the primary jewelry depends on the type of piercing. In "labret" (puncture under the lower lip), "jellyfish / philtrum" (puncture in the dimple above the upper lip) and "Monroe" / "Madonna" (puncture above the upper lip on the right or left, imitating the famous "flies" of divas, in honor of which this type of lip piercing is named) direct jewelry with a thickness of 1-1.6 mm is placed, in which a flat disk is wound or welded on the inside, and a ball, pebble or other beautiful wrapping of a more non-standard shape on the outside. The length of the base should be several millimeters longer than the thickness of the lip at the puncture site (most often 9-11 mm). Outside, the pebble should be at least 2 millimeters so that during the primary edema it does not “fall through” into the skin.

In the "vertical labret" (vertical piercing of the lower lip), "jestrum" (the same as the vertical labret, but on the upper lip) and "Ashley" (horizontal piercing of the lower lip, going inward), small bananas are most often placed, but sometimes anatomy allows you to put a direct decoration. After 2-3 weeks, when the edema subsides, the base of the jewelry can already be changed to a shorter one so that it does not “crawl out” with expressive facial expressions and / or “dangle” inside, injuring the gums / teeth). And to do this, of course, not on your own, but with the help of a master.

WHAT IS THE RING?

Firstly, it is not suitable for all types of piercings, so if you want to wear a ring in your lip, you should warn the master about this before the procedure - he will tell you about all the options for piercings “under the ring”, and also offer to measure several sizes, and you will immediately know what it will look like. If this is not done, you can get into a situation where you have already spent a lot of time and effort on healing, but the ring of the desired size squeezes the puncture, or vice versa - it looks cumbersome.

Secondly, it should not be installed in a fresh puncture, as it will constantly scroll, thereby injuring the channel trying to form. And in order for the ring not to stick into the lip during the primary edema, it must be a size larger than the one that will fit neatly around it. If you immediately put the ring, which will be back to back, during the primary edema, it will “cut” the walls of the puncture, and even if it heals under such conditions (and this is unlikely), then the output will be a migrating puncture with a too loose ring. With careful observance of our care recommendations, after 3 months you can come for a follow-up examination and installation of the long-awaited ring.

HOW CAN YOU VARIETY YOUR LIP PIERCING?

In addition to the above standard punctures, you can make whole compositions from the same species, placing them in any number and order that your anatomy allows (pictures with any heresy like the one I have). And you can sometimes “hide” the piercing with the help of wrapping in the form of a mole.

DOES LIP PIERCING INTERFERE WITH KISSING AND ORAL SEX?

With a very fresh puncture, we do not recommend doing this at all, because no matter how much (NI?) you are confident in your partner, there is always a risk of transmitting STDs when someone else's secretions enter your bloodstream. Starting from the 3rd week, you can already return to a full life, but do not forget that the less you disturb the puncture, the faster it will heal. But in general, you get used to lip piercing (as well as to) very quickly and stop feeling - provided that the puncture is located optimally for your anatomy, and the size of the jewelry is chosen correctly. So the only thing left to think about is the preferences of your partner, and the rest is up to your taste and the skill of your piercer.

I GOT A LIP PIERCING AND NOW I ALWAYS FEEL A BAD SMAST. HOW TO FIX IT?

This happens if you wear jewelry made of material that is not suitable for piercing. Impurities found in gold from jewelry stores, silver and surgical steel can react with natural secretions and start the oxidation process. Replacing the jewelry with one made of implantation titanium or nickel-free gold usually solves this problem.

AND MY GUMS / TEETH / SKY HURTS, AND A PLAQUE APPEARED ON THE LANGUAGE!

If this does not happen locally at the puncture site, where the jewelry is in contact with the tissues, then the problem is not in it, but in the antiseptic and / or rinse aid. Everyone has a different oral microflora, and the same antiseptic or hygienic rinse can act differently on different people. When the rinse is not suitable, it can disrupt the microflora of the mouth, and because of this, such a reaction occurs, it is called stomatitis. In this situation, just try changing the rinse aid to another one from the list provided in ours.

IS IT REALLY THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO HIT AN IMPORTANT FACIAL NERVE AND HARM THE MIMICS?

If such an outcome were possible, no master would take it upon himself to practice this puncture.

Does it hurt to get a lip piercing? Here's what our clients say:

About a month ago I pierced my lip in St.Scalpelburg, I'm satisfied. Special thanks to the dear master Ksenia.

Thanks to Arseniy for the lip piercing and detailed information on how to care for him! The atmosphere in the salon is very wonderful, special thanks to the administrators for delicious tea and cookies, thanks to which the excitement before the puncture really evaporated. Very satisfied! Today I'm going to change the decoration.

Medusa piercing is a puncture groove located above the upper lip. This is one of the most beautiful types of piercings and, judging by the photo, is most often done by girls. This method of decorating the face is considered the most harmless and painless, since there are no nerve endings and blood vessels in the hole under the nose, which means there is no risk of paralysis and bleeding. But, despite these factors, it is better to carry out the procedure in a beauty parlor or with a professional piercer. Forming a beautiful hole requires certain skills and a set of tools.

What is a jellyfish piercing and its features

The fashion for piercing has appeared relatively recently, but already every second young man has jewelry on his body. This is not only part of a fashionable look, but also an original, bold way to stand out from the crowd. Almost all beauty salons provide this service and offer a wide selection of decorative items for piercings.

The lip piercing, called Medusa, was first made in Canada in 1990. His progenitor is considered to be a fashion designer and part-time hairdresser Kerrick, who lived and worked in Toronto. It was in his head that the idea of ​​a piercing of the upper lip was born, which quickly gained popularity among all groups of the population, including adult adults.

The piercing got its name due to its unusual location - in a hollow above the lip. Sometimes it is done in the region of the lower lip, but this is dangerous, since one wrong move can damage the whole plexus of nerve endings and disfigure a person. Only true professionals are able to perform such a puncture clearly and without complications.

Does the procedure hurt?

The whole procedure takes several minutes, from the initial processing to the introduction of decoration. Whether it hurts to make a puncture depends on the sensitivity threshold of a person. The master will not refuse you the desire to use local anesthesia.

The classic jellyfish over the lip does not cause severe pain and is often performed without the use of painkillers. There are no blood vessels and nerves that would respond with pain to damage. During the passage of the needle, only discomfort is felt.

When carrying out the lower jellyfish, anesthesia is mandatory. Since this is the very center of the plexus of nerves and blood vessels, the procedure in this area is quite painful. Before visiting the master's office, you should visit an allergist to exclude negative reactions to anesthesia. Do not be skeptical about this recommendation, since many application preparations can provoke swelling, itching and rash, which can lead to serious complications.

Pain after the procedure will be as soon as the effect of the medicines ends.

How to perform punctures of the lower and upper lips

In salons, specialists work strictly in sterile gloves and treated instruments to avoid blood poisoning and infection.

The main stages of the procedure:

1. A felt-tip pen marks the future hole.
2. Anesthesia is given.
3. With a special clamp, the master captures the lip, which allows you to slightly reduce sensitivity and guarantees a through puncture, and not a superficial one. The tool is selected individually, taking into account the size and diameter.
4. A hole is made with a special needle, the clips are removed and an earring is inserted.
5. The wound is treated with antibacterial solutions.

When piercing the lips, two methods are used:

• vertical;
• horizontal.

For Medusa, the first type is used. The needle passes strictly vertically and through.

With a lower puncture, a large amount of blood and severe pain may appear. The healing time is 3-4 weeks.

Care and consequences for wrong actions

Punctures in the mouth area require careful care and hygiene. At first, until the body gets used to the changes, there may be problems with diction and eating.

After a puncture, in the first 3-4 hours it is forbidden to eat, drink alcohol and smoke.

During the healing period:

• Adhere to a strict diet without sour, cold, spicy, hot, hard;
• It is better to refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol;
• Regularly rinse your mouth with antiseptics to prevent infection of the wound;
• To reduce swelling at the site of damage, it is recommended to suck on lozenges for sore throats;
• Kissing is forbidden;
• To speed up the regeneration process, it is desirable to take B vitamins;
• You should not change the jewelry, pull it through or pull it out, as this is painful and can slow healing.

Experts do not advise removing the earring for 1 year. And after this period, you should not go without a product for more than one day. The wounds at the bottom and top of the lips are quickly tightened.

• long healing;
• damage to the gums and tooth enamel;
• suppuration;
• rejection of the earring.

Going to an unqualified home-based piercer can expose you to HIV, blood infections, or hepatitis. A piercing of a jellyfish under the lower lip should only be carried out by a professional, otherwise there is a high risk of damage to the nerve plexuses.

All manipulations should be carried out only with sterile instruments and disposable needles!

If you experience prolonged swelling, redness, or yellowing of the area around the jewelry, seek immediate medical attention, as these symptoms often indicate an infection.

Selection of jewelry

What decorative product to choose to decorate the lip piercing? In the photo you can see a huge assortment of earrings, but they are all divided into several main categories according to the type of clasp:

• Microbananas. They look like small curved rods, which in a classic form are decorated with multi-colored balls on top.
• Labrets. One of the most popular products for lip decoration. They have a flat surface inside and a decorative top outside. Rhinestones and even diamonds can be worn on the upper part.

Regardless of the form of jewelry, it is important that it be made of materials that are biocompatible with human skin. Safe types include:

• PTFE is a special kind of hypoallergenic plastic. It is suitable for absolutely all people and is often used when rejecting products from other materials. Doctors recommend replacing them with jewelry during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Implantation steel - has a serious difference from medical steel due to the absence of nickel alloys in it;
• Gold of the highest standard, starting from the 750th test;
• Titanium is the most famous and affordable material. Lightweight and hypoallergenic.

Does not install 585 gold jewelry, as they contain alloys that can oxidize and cause negative consequences in the piercing area.

Lip piercing is considered one of the most common types of piercing. Jewelry on the face is mostly loved by girls, as small pebbles and figurines give them an unusual look of femininity, intertwined with audacity and mystery. Deciding on such a way of self-expression is difficult and not everyone will be able to take such a step, mostly they are interesting and extraordinary personalities.

So you have decided to lower lip piercing, but do not know how to prepare, what awaits you and what to do next? Then this article is written for you! She will tell you in detail about everything related to piercing. lips, starting from the choice masters and ending with the first replacement of the earring.
What is a lower lip piercing?

1). lower jellyfish(i.e, piercing is being done under the lip right in the middle)

2). Labret (standard lower lip side piercing)
3). vertical (the lower lip is pierced through strictly vertically, such a puncture is very painful and bleeds)
4). horizontal(the puncture is made strictly horizontally directly on the lip itself, but it is insanely painful and bleeds very heavily)
So, we choose the master
First of all, you need to remember that you cannot entrust such a thing as piercing to the first person you meet. This is not just a scratch, this is a real operation that should be done by an experienced piercer, so the choice of a master must be taken seriously. First, ask your friends - maybe someone knows a good master and salon where the lower lip is pierced. Secondly, go around the largest salons in your city and look at the conditions in them: if the floors are clean, everything is well-groomed, nice people work, then you can, so to speak, trust yourself to this place. Remember that if you were offered a piercing by people who have no experience, but they offer you a price two times lower than in the salon - do not agree! This can cost you health, because. there are a lot of biologically active points in the area of ​​the chin and lower lip, which can cause irreversible consequences if damaged, and these consequences are not treated in any way.
Training
Before the procedure, you should thoroughly brush your teeth and rinse your mouth in order to puncture no infection. You also need to make sure that you are completely healthy at the time of the operation, since the piercing of the lower lip may not take root if there are any inflammatory processes of any severity in the body.
Anesthesia
Masters have chosen, signed up for the procedure, but are you afraid of pain during it? In this case, anesthesia is not recommended, since after local anesthesia there will be severe swelling and hellish pain, but if everything is so bad and you are literally shaking, you must first go to an allergist who will write out a certificate stating that you do not have allergies for any anesthetic. This is very important, since allergies can be different: a small rash may come out, or Quincke's edema may occur, which in nine out of ten cases ends in death. Once again it should be mentioned: do not save on your own health, as a dead person does not need saved dollars.
If you do not have allergies, then the anesthetic can be applied in the form of an aerosol, or they can be injected under the skin, it all depends on your desire, but you should remember that the piercing of the lower lip under anesthesia in the form of an aerosol does not hurt so much and swells after surgery . But, if you decide to go horizontal or vertical, then your lip will be cut off with an insulin syringe, it doesn’t hurt, it just burns a little, but everything will swell up just crazy, and the pain will have to be interrupted with analgesics (sometimes even in injections).
The course of the procedure
one). You came to the master, lie down on the couch or sofa
2). The piercer does anesthesia if you intend to use it (if not, then go straight to the next paragraph)
3). The master disinfects the puncture site
4). Lip it is clamped (if a labret or a jellyfish is made, it is bent and pierced from the inside, and if it is vertical or horizontal, then it is simply clamped) and pierced with a special needle
five). An earring is inserted into the puncture and tightly twisted or fastened
After lip piercing done, it is sealed with a plaster and the client is released home.
Pain syndrome
It all depends on what a person's pain threshold is, so you need to be prepared for the fact that the piercing of the lower lip will bring a lot of unpleasant and painful sensations if you did it without anesthesia. The vertical and horizontal are especially sore, as the soft tissues of the lip are damaged. If anesthesia was done, then hellish torment cannot be avoided. But, in any case, the pain will always occur when laughing, smiling, talking and chewing food for a week or two, no more. If the pain syndrome is very strong, then it can be brought down by analgesics in tablets or injections.
Puncture treatment
If you have a labret or jellyfish, you can flush the puncture with sodium chloride solution, potassium permanganate solution, or chlorhexidine. It is necessary to process so that liquid gets into the puncture, that is, so that it is washed from the inside. Pulling out the earring is not recommended. One more thing: in no case do not peel off the dried flesh with your nails from the earring! If you really feel like washing it, then remove it for ten minutes and put it in a solution of sodium chloride, then gently wipe it with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol or a solution of calendula. It is necessary to process such a piercing of the lower lip twice a day (that is, in the morning and in the evening) for a month, so you should not think that if the piercing does not hurt, then it has already healed, since the tissues inside the puncture will fully recover only after a month.
If you have done a vertical or horizontal, then you need to scroll the earring, washing the puncture with sodium chloride solution. Pulling out the earring is not recommended, since the puncture has not yet healed and it will immediately begin to bleed and can become very inflamed, and such a puncture during inflammation is fraught with serious complications. If a lot of things have dried up on the earring, and it causes pain when moving the lips, then you can remove all this with an ear stick dipped in sodium chloride solution. It is necessary to process such a puncture for at least three months, for the reason that the tissues of the lips are very delicate and take a long time to recover.
Choosing the right earring
For a piercing such as a lower lip piercing, you need an earring made of surgical steel, silver or titanium(it is most suitable for non-standard punctures: horizontal and vertical). You should not save on an earring, as low-quality metal will cause suppuration and rejection.
First decoration replacement
So, your lip piercing has already healed, you want to change the earring. The jewelry you are going to insert must be washed in a disinfectant solution, otherwise it may cause inflammation.
Finally, I would like to remind you that if you decide to pierce your lower lip, whether horizontal or labret, then only you are fully responsible for the cosmetic result of this operation. If you yourself save on everything, process irregularly and constantly pull out and insert jewelry (this, by the way, is not uncommon among youngsters, since they are not allowed to have piercings, but they want it and think that nothing will happen), then this is not good won't end! And little thirteen-year-old piercing lovers need to remember the following: it’s better to wait a couple of years than to suffer from an infection all your life or even die from blood poisoning!
