so i'm thinking about getting one.
but i want to know about the care.
i've read about the care of them during the healing process, but do you do that even after it has healed completely? or do you just do it during the healing process?
thanks
and i've heard some people have said it's hurt, some people said the opposite, so i get that :]
and the healing, it takes a different amount of time for different people..makes sense
i also was wondering if any of you awesome people have any suggestions as to persuade my parents to let me get a lip piercing
they probably won't anyways cause they are pretty strict about those kind of things, but maybe i could just make them think about it somehow?
thanks!!!
Care of lip piercings?
I don't know how old you are, but any reputable piercing shop won't do a facial piercing on anyone under 16. With that said, the healing process generally involves warm water mixed with sea salt 2-4 times a day. Gargle it, and get it on a paper towel and clean the outer hole. After it's healed (yeah, different for everybody), you don't HAVE to do anything to it, but it's smart to clean it 1-2 times a week just to make sure it doesn't reject later. On a scale of 1-10, I'd say a lip piercing was a 4-5, but it's different for everyone.
I was 14 when I tried to get my first piercing and my Mom said no until I was 15. She finally agreed to go to the piercing studio with me and just talked to all the piercers and learned as much as she could. I'd say the best way is to be honest with your parents about WHY you want the piercing, and present them with a loooooooooooot of information. Chances are your parents don't care so much about how it looks, but that you're ';putting a hole in your face.'; She eventually said yes and I got my first piercing on my 16th birthday. Still got it!Care of lip piercings?
my lip piercing still has not healed completely and i don't clean it every single day or anything, and it doesn't hurt, well mine didn't.. it depends on your pain tolerance but its nothing you can't bare, and i don't know what you could say to your parents to let you have one, how old are you btw?
think about what ur doing first, what kind of job do u want when u get older? do u want to be a Business tycoon? u cant be one if u have that piercing. i would not hire u to moe my lawn if u have piercings like that... think about what ur doing first..ok

How to take care of a lip pirecing?
i finally talked my mom into leting me get a lip ring but i want to know how to take care of it
every little thing that needs to be done so i dont get an infection and give me a picture of yours if u can pleaseHow to take care of a lip pirecing?
Sea salt soaks a couple times a day works great. I used H2Ocean spray which was really easy. Antibacterial soap is also good to use to clean it. You can also use alcohol free mouthwash for the inside. Don't play with it a lot and don't change it on your own until it's fully healed which takes about a month or two. It is by far my favorite piercing and was so easy to heal. I can show you a pic if you IM me or something and I could show you one with my retainer I use for work and other events where I can't have it.How to take care of a lip pirecing?
When you go to get it done the piercer should give you a list, and tell you how to take care of it and for how long. But be sure to buy some kind of sterile sea salt solution such as H2Ocean it works great ( ask your piercer if they have any you could buy) it has lysozyme which helps it heal faster. And thats for the outside just use a Q-tip. Then for the inside swish about 8 oz of salt water 3 times a day. Don't use mouthwash for a few weeks because its kills the new forming skin cells. Don't drink anything through a straw for a few weeks or you will get dry socket. And avoid anything oral. (kissing, etc.)
Your piercing will ooze lymph its gross but its normal. Just be sure its not a greenish color, that could mean its infected.
well, its actually simple.
you just have to brush your teeth and use mouth wash after EVERY thing you eat or drink and keep from smoking if you do at least until it heals. and dont put neosporin on the outside to clean it just use hydrogen peroxide or H2O you can buy it at hot topic.
oh and keep from touching it is a VERY important thing! because if you fiddle with it or move it around nd just plain play with it, it wont heal correctly and it will bleed because your lip is trying to heal around it and youll be messing up the healing process! so be careful and make sure you wash your hands before cleaning it:]
ive had mine for a year now and its been doing great and i havent gotten one infection:]

The piercer will tell you how to take care of it and most give you an aftercare sheet as well. Basically all you need to do is clean it a few times a day with sea salt and water solution. Not normal table salt, SEA salt.
Wash your mouth with mouth wash frequently for a few weeks. Because the piercing is located around the mouth, there is little you can do to clean it. Just try to keep your mouth area as clean as possible.
Easy don't get one, but if u do the artist will tell u what to do to take care of it.

How do you take care of a lip piercing?
I just got my lip pierced 3 weeks ago, so i know this pretty well haha.
For the first 3 days, i took a pain reliever/fever reducer to reduce swelling (specifically i took Aleve) every 12 hours to keep the swelling down, but you will swell a little anyway, thats why they give you a bigger bar. I slept with my head propped up a little for the first few nights too, just to prevent extra blood rushing to my head.
As well, i bought a bottle of Bactine, a small bottle of scope mouthwash, and a tube of neosporin. Once in the morning, and once at night i pushed the bar outwards so it stuck out more than usual (with very clean hands of course) and sprayed a tissue and cleaned the outside of my piercing with bactine and then lightly coated the outside with neosporin.
Also, after every meal i rinsed my mouth out with the mouth wash, but you shouldn't do that too often because most mouthwashes contain alcohol, which, as well as cleaning and disinfecting, also kills cells and believe me you do not want the cells around newly pierced skin dying.
After about 7-10 days on average the swelling should go down completely and you should go back to your piercer to get a bar that is more fitting to your now not-swollen face.
And thats pretty much it, other than leave the piercing in for 3 weeks before changing to a new bar, to make sure it is healed enough to handle it.
Good Luck :)How do you take care of a lip piercing?
Lip piercings are super easy to take care of as long as you have the right stuff.
In the morning yout lip might be a bit swollen so mix about hald paroxide with water and gargle for 30 seconds, then wipe the outside with the same mixture. after you brush your teeth use mouthwash.
After eating, brush and use mouthwash.
Before bed, do the same thing you did in the morning
At least once a day put a very very small amount of no cented moisturiser (vasalien works best) around the outside of the piercing. This stops it from getting to dry

I just had my lip pierce ...what after care treatment should I use?
Sea salt soaks for the outside, mouthwash without alcohol in it for the inside after you eat and smoke (if you smoke).I just had my lip pierce ...what after care treatment should I use?
salt water, and i found this stuff called H2Ocean, and it worked great tooI just had my lip pierce ...what after care treatment should I use?
Rinse mouth 4-5 times daily with cleaning solution for 30-60 seconds after meals and at bedtime during the entire healing period. If you over clean, it may cause discoloration or irritation of tongue.
They should have told you all of this at the piercing place.
Water and salt, rinse it twice a day.makeup trends

How do u take care of ';Acute Laceration to the Lip';..?
i got kicked in the mouth in my soccer game and got cut. the doctor at the hospital said i dont need stitches and he just cleaned it.. so how do i take care of this and how and when will it heal?..How do u take care of ';Acute Laceration to the Lip';..?
mucosa heal very very fast, compared to skin.
the laceration inside the mouth will close in about 1 day. in 1 week it will be fully healed.
you just need to keep it clean (rince with a cup of water with 1 tsp salt in it)
other than that there should be no problem.

Better ways to take care of my new lip pericing??
i posted something about my new lip pericing last night, because it bleeds when i clean it, but I was also wondering if there is any other ways, other then what the peircer told me to take care of it.
he told me to:
1)EVERYTIME I eat, or drink anything but water, use mouth wash.
2)Wnen i use the bathroom, wash the outside of my lip with dial soap.
but I have also been putting peroxide on it once in a while, and like 1-2 times a day, i have been using neosporen on the outside. (moms a nyurse and told me to)
but the bleeding happens when i was a q-tip to wipe off the yellowish goo crap. (normal) its not enough blood to where its dripping down my chin or anything, but there is enought to see it.
any other ways to keep it clean and stop infections, or to keep it from bleeding??
ALSO!!
The ring has been coming out, and tha ball has came unscrewed about 4 times today alone, but the guy told me to keep THIS ring untill it heals. But im thinking I should change it. Just bc it keeps falling out.(compleatly) adn i bite it a lot when i eat, so i am thinking a loop would be better.
should i?!Better ways to take care of my new lip pericing??
okay i have my tongue pierced and i had the same problems.
just whenever you eat use mouthwash but you dont have to wash it with dial soap.that actually makes it worse.just make sure to keep it moderately clean.the mouth actually gets rid of its own germs better if you dont clean it super often.as for changing the ring,,go ahead and change it.i changed my tongue ring the same day i got it and nothing happened.my boyfriend pierced his own lip and nothing went wrong and he never cleans it.youll be fine just do whatever you think is right.you know your body better than anyone else does.Better ways to take care of my new lip pericing??
go back to the place and tell the guy to put the ring on it securely, and ask him for ways to keep it clean.
I would change it to a loop. It's easier to handle. Just make sure it doesnt close up.
wow thats crazy. all that work for a lil lip ring.
i think you should also get the loop.

Lip piercing after care?
Im 14 I finaly convienced my mother to get my lip pierced,Im getting snakebites,but what do I use to care fot it after wards?
Some people say to use a certain type of mouthwash that can esily be bought in a store,if so what kind.And iv been told to just mix sea salt and water.
Which of these do you most recomend?Any other way?Lip piercing after care?
I'd say salt water, mouthwash would probably irritate it.
Your piercer should tell you how to care for it anywayLip piercing after care?
Rinse your mouth with corsodyl, corsodyl is antibacterial
and clean the wounds with water and salt (use water that's been boiled because its sterile) and any salt will do. I used ordinary table salt for my piercings
then after a few weeks switch to witch hazel (I swear by the stuff)
clean the piercings and rinse 3 times a day, morning, noon and night
though you may want to rinse after you eat as well
i have the middle of my lip pierced and after i got it done i used saline (contact) solution to clean the outside with a q-tip
after i ate or smoked i washed it out with regular mouthwash
never had any problems with it and it healed perfectly :D
for the piercing to heal fast, the greatest is to but some NATURAL sea salt and mix it with water and do like ';mouth wash'; with it....also with the listerine and stuff....
