Description of the puncture

It is a question of creating a tubule for decoration in the bridle of the upper lip. The name "smilie" piercing received from the English word that in a literal translation into Russian means "smile". It is easy to explain this by the fact that the puncture and decoration can be seen only when the person opens his mouth wide, smiles or grimaces. A related "smiley" piercing is "anti-oil". It is performed on a similar technology, but only on the bridle of the lower lip. Piercing "smilie" and "anti-oil" - quite simple and safe piercing.

As for the shape of the decoration, the "smilie" piercing allows for various options. Suitable for this puncture are "bananas", segment rings or circulars (an earring in the shape of a horseshoe, at the ends of which are balls or cones). To change ornaments it is possible only after full healing of the channel. Choose the most convenient, high-quality and beautiful earring for wearing at first.

Preparing for the puncture

Piercing the "smile" will heal faster and without side problems, if within a few days before the procedure to observe special rules. The preparation consists in rinsing the mouth with an antiseptic solution (diluted in water, potassium permanganate, salt or chlorhexidine, bought in a pharmacy). It is enough 2-3 days before the puncture to rinse your mouth several times during the day. With this simple procedure, you reduce the number of bacteria in the mouth, so that the probability of infection with a puncture will be minimal.

Piercing at home

Any punctures are best done in specialized salons or cabinets of aesthetic medicine. However, if this is not possible, you can try to make piercings at home. To do this, you will need to purchase an ornament that will be installed in the created canal, as well as a catheter - a special device for puncturing the skin. You can not chop the "smilie" with ordinary needles for sewing or removed from medical syringes. The catheter is inexpensive, and you can buy it at specialized piercing shops. Usually this is a disposable device, sterilized by the manufacturer and packed in a sealed container. Doing piercings at home is not recommended primarily because of the high risk of infection. Prepare antiseptic solution in advance and sterilize the jewelry. The catheter is a hollow needle in the opening of which is inserted an earring. When piercing this tool creates a channel and passes through it, and the decoration immediately rises to its place. Make a piercing "smile" at home is not so difficult. First you need to process the hands, the decoration and the puncture site. Then pierce the bridle, pull out the catheter and fix the earring. It is important to choose the right puncture site - the channel should not be placed too close to the edge of the bridle, otherwise the probability of its rupture is high. The final step is the re-treatment of the finished piercing with an antiseptic solution.

Puncture care during the healing period

"Smile" is considered a simple puncture because of the high ability of the oral tissues to regenerate. Completely such a piercing will heal in 2-4 weeks. In the first days after the puncture, it is not recommended to drink alcohol and smoke. Within three weeks after the procedure, rinse your mouth with an antiseptic after each meal. Minimize the chance of damage to the new puncture. Do not touch the jewelry with your hands unless absolutely necessary, try not to disturb it with your tongue. Watch your own facial expressions, avoid too harsh smiles and other grimaces.

Possible problems

Usually puncture bridles heal quickly and without problems. But this is not always the case. The greatest danger is infection when performing the procedure. Remember that any open wound (which is how you can classify a specially created canal before it is fully healed) is the entrance gate to infection. Infection is manifested by the release of pus, swelling, soreness. The best option for detecting such symptoms is to remove the jewelry, treat the puncture site with an antiseptic and consult a doctor. Another of the probable problems of this type of piercing is the bridle rupture. Such a trauma can occur not only during the healing period. To minimize the likelihood of a rupture, you can choose the correct puncture site and treat it with extreme caution throughout the entire period of wearing the jewelry. Other effects of "smilie" piercing are dental problems. Many experts argue that for teeth any punctures in which decorations (or their parts) are in the oral cavity are harmful. However, this warning rarely stops real lovers of piercing.
