Remember Cindy Crawford’s beauty mark? How about having a small stud instead of a mole there? Thats what Madonna piercing is all about. It is is a piercing of the upper lip in place of a beauty mark that normally appears on the upper lip.
It heals in about 4-12 weeks and the presence of ‘friendly’ bacteria in the mouth rule out external infection. Plus, the use of labret helps the piercing heal better rather than a Ball Closure Ring. Though Damage can also come from jewelery constantly rubbing against the gum lining and wearing it away. This often happens if larger jewelery is left unchanged, after the initial swelling reduces.
Like all in all oral piercings, eating would be problematic for a few days. However, you can manage with soft food for a weeks if you want it to heal faster.
