Aftercare of Labret Piercing:
Healing of Labret Piercing:
A labret piercing usually takes 6 to 8 weeks to heal.
Risks Associated with Labret Piercing:
Labret is very soft area. Though many have done this piercing and are happy with it, you should know the possible risks associated with before taking a decision. Here is a brief description about it.
Sometimes, the labret can get embedded inside the lip due to the swelling. This happens when a small labret is used for the piercing. Other risks include chipping of the tooth or drifting of the tooth due to the rubbing of the metal.
Labret Piercing Ideas:
A combination of 2 or more labret piercings can add variety and beauty. There are several variations of this piercing. Here are some of them:
If your piercing has been mistakenly not placed at the center, you can go for snake or spider piercing to make the piercing look natural.
Precautions:
The labret piercing does not get seasoned/tough until one year. Hence, avoid changing jewelry during this time. One should also put extra care during this time. Playing with the labret should be avoided. While getting your labret pierced, make sure you use the metal of the highest quality. Make sure the piercing is properly aligned and not off-center.
Piercing of the labret was popular among the American Northwest Coast Indians, where it was associated with status. Now it adds beauty and style. So, get this piercing if you think it suits your personality.

Is it okay to use a clear plastic stud when you first get your labret pierced? Or would it be better to use metal?

Hello Sheema, thanks for visiting our site.If this is the case we recommend you to check with your piercer to avoid any sort of future problems though it is not hurting you.
February 2nd, 2008 at 2:19 am
hey! great information here. This may be a stupid question, but is it impossible to get a labret piercing with braces? Also.. do you have to get the piercing right under your lip.. or can you get it a bit lower?
thanks!

Okay… I got snakebites about a weeks and a couple days ago and I’m pretty sure there is a wicked infection. I’ve been reading about it and am having trouble figuring out what to do and it’s driving me insane cuz of the slight pain every once in a while. I am trying my damnedest to not play with it and it’s swelled up on both side. The other day, my band director told me we had a contest coming up and I have retainers but I’m afraid that putting them in will only hinder the healing process cuz I would have to take out the hoops that are in and then put them back in about an hour later. And the retainers are almost too small.
But I don’t know if I should consult with my doctor to see about getting antibiotics for it. I heard putting tea tree oil on infections helps them. How should I administer a sea salt solution soak? Should I just get a soaking cotton ball and put on it?…. I have so many questions and not hardly enough time to ask them lol.
Could someone PLEASE help me? I really don’t want to take out the jewelry.
March 19th, 2008 at 11:17 pm
hi i was just wondering if i should et it done now cuz i have always wanted it done and it is kindda scary from what ppl have been saying bout it so plz get back to me on this cuz i really want it donelike really bad but im not sure now!!! thanks caitlin
March 21st, 2008 at 6:23 pm
hey, i got my lip pierced only yesterday and today i have noticed on the inside of my lip it appears that the skin is growing over the flat disk on the end of the labret or that the disk is sinking into my lip. my dad also has his lip pierced and the same thing happened to him, it doesnt hurt but im wondering wether it is normal or wether i should be worried about it?
March 24th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Hi there, I have a few questions. I got a labret piercing 2 days ago-can I use a non-sterile saline solution? Also, my lip is swelling and the front ball of the labret stud keeps going into the piercing hole. Do I keep it in and just wait for the swelling to go down or should I go back to my piercer and get a long stud put in? Thanks so much for your help, Tina.
March 24th, 2008 at 11:53 pm
Hello, I got my Labret piercing Around the first week of March. At first when I got the ring, I checked UNDER the plate on the back, I noticed it was a different shade of my inner lip, and it was a ring like area. I’ve been using seasalt to clean it. But some days I forget to wash it. My piercer didn’t use the measuring tool to see how long my bar for my lip would be needed. And I’m starting to notice, that when I wake up in the mornings, that it’ll be a little irritated round the bottom gum, around where my teeth are. And if I rub against it, I’ll feel something, not really pain, but more like a strong rub. I wanted to know, if I should talk to my piercer about removing it, and piercing it lower down on my lip. Or if I should check into getting a smaller bar. I’m not really fond of rings for my lip. It wouldn’t suit my face, period. So that’s kinda out of the question. The Stud(ball) is the only thing I would wear having a labret percing.
Please help answering my questions?
P.S; I did go to my piercer about the gum, she told me, that I only start to notice a drastic change in my gums or teeth should I take it out. And another question, do gums heal back over? Over time that is?
Thanks,
-Vay
March 29th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
One more quick question lol. Are the bio flex labret piercing jewellery better for your teeth and gums? I had a bigger stud put in because of the problem I mentioned above, but it’s really annoying my gums. Thanks so much, Tina.
April 18th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Hey now, dig the site. I’m seriously considering getting this done however some of the “long-term” effects, such as gum recession and scraping of tooth enamel is slowing me down. Does your gum-line move up after it is removed and can enamel be replenished? Is there a softer backing to avoid this?
April 22nd, 2008 at 2:30 am
xD. nice way to answer that question. “Well I have no idea, talk to a professional.”
classic.
April 23rd, 2008 at 9:16 pm
Hi, my name is Amber and I got my lip pierced six months ago at king’s ink tattoo shop, and i let my labret heal for the full eight weeks and i had experience the same as sheema, i had a piece of skin hanging inside and about two into having the labret it closed up on the inside so i could change it or do anything else, i was wondering should i go and have surgery or contact the piercer who pierced it to see if he can remove it?
April 24th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
Hi I just turned sixteen and really on the fence about getting my labret pierced is there a way I could see what it would look like on me without making any holes in my face
May 2nd, 2008 at 7:39 am

May 2nd, 2008 at 7:39 am
my mum has finallly cracked and let me get my lip perced but now i don’t know where to get it done Do claires do lip piercings?
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:20 pm
Hey I got my upper lip pierced and I also have a little piece of skin hanging on the inside of my lip, it doesn’t hurt me but I was wondering is that normal ? Is it supposed to happen ? Get bak 2 me
June 1st, 2008 at 3:54 pm
I used to experience something similar when i first had my labret done. I personally found that it was caused by mild trauma to the mouth and i would switch out to a longer bar temporarily and the ‘circle’ & flap of skin would disappear in no time.
June 27th, 2008 at 5:56 am
i just wanted to get a picture of what it looks like once u have taken it out ?
July 4th, 2008 at 4:49 am
HI MY NAME IS MARIBEL ORTIZ AND I HAVE A QUESTION??? I HAVE HAD MY LABRET PIERCING FOR OVER ALMOST 2 WEEKS BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT IS SWOLLEN AND IT HAS SOME WHITE STUFF COMING OUT OF IT AND IT IS VERY SORE…WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT????PLEASE LET ME KNOW
July 9th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
i am thinking about getting a lip piercing but i am slightly worried about the whole sticking the needle through and how long i have to wait before i can take it out again. Please get back to me on this. thank you!! x
July 12th, 2008 at 10:12 am
hiya i got my lower left side done yesterday didn’t swell at all yesterday but got up today and has swelled quite a bit is his norm? plz reply and put my mind at rest thanks!
July 12th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
Hi. I am considering getting my labret pierced. The only conern I have is wether or not my facial hair is going to interfere with the piercing and healing process.
August 15th, 2008 at 2:52 am
Hi,
I recently had my labret piercing done. The piercer didn’t measure my lip or mark both sidea of my lip, he simply put a dot on the front. He also did it at an angle not completelly horizontal. Is that ok? Or should I take it out and get re pierced?
September 9th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
I got my labret pierced about 4 days ago, the swelling has gone down, haven’t really had any pain. I do get a lot of crust around it throughout the day and when i sleep. Is there anything I can do about that or should I just do the saltwater and cotten soak?
September 18th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Jeremy: A bit of crusting is completely normal, even when the piercing has healed and been in for a while. Just make sure you clean it as soon as you can and it’ll be fine.
September 25th, 2008 at 1:31 am
Yeah well, i got my labret pierced and its been done for a year and a half or so, I recently went to the dentist and they told me the back of my labret has been rubbing against my teeth and caused the gums to disapear leaving it rubbing against the bone of my teeth. Now im going to have to get surgery from the skin off my pallet removed to be placed at the bottom of my teeth for gum support. They said 50 percent has been worn down of the bone, and if i kept it in any longer my teeth would no longer be supported and FALL OUT. Mine was pierced professionaly , and my labret jewelery was placed in the right spot perfectly as well. I dont know, i guess i just have good luck
Not everyone gets as lucky as i do though. GOODLUCK!
October 1st, 2008 at 4:28 pm
hey guys, had my labret done 3 weeks now. And to be honest its not as bad as everyones makes out. its all done in a couple of minutes and the pain i woild compare to a sharp scratch, once the needle penetrates the skin you cant feel it after that. If you want this piercing then just go ahead and get it. I love my labret piercing
October 2nd, 2008 at 11:48 pm
i pierced ma lip like the labret pierceing and didnt seem to bother cuz i have i high tolerence for pain but the only thing thats annoying is that it hits my teeth alot everytime i move my mouth and im just wondering if that is ok or not cuz if not ill take it out rite now so please let me know
October 8th, 2008 at 10:54 am
hi, i wonder if anyone could tell me if it is normal for the lip to be tender around the bottom lip piercing 5 days after the piercing? the piercing is not sore but is sort of tender in the mouth… just wondering coz i read an article saying that the piercing only takes between 2-5 days to heal…
October 13th, 2008 at 5:11 am
Hey just wondering how often do the risks acosiated with labret peircing occur? are they quite common or not?( any statistics?)
thanks heaps
October 16th, 2008 at 6:08 am
Hey! I got my labret piercing a week ago. And in the inside of my lip the flat piece is sinking in ….is that normal ? Is it going to keep sinking deeper and deeper?
October 21st, 2008 at 7:15 pm
Wayne: I don’t know who told you it takes 2-5 days to heal, but thats is a bunch of buffalo poo.
Sure oral and genital piercings heal faster than surface, ear, or cartiledge piercing. But seriously it does not heal in less than a week. Just watch out for signs of infection, if the pain gets worse and is constant you might have an infection, but it doesn’t look like it, just sea salt soak it, or H2Ocean if you have any. Use distilled water NOT tap to clean your piercing, good luck.
October 26th, 2008 at 5:36 am
ok its been lik 2 weeks since i got the labret piercing, and its a little pink around my piercing. is this lik normal…or no?
And how do i take the 1 i started with out?
its kinda hard for me to twist the top off cus of the inside of my li.
November 8th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
To th eperson above this, Wayne, it should definitly be tender after only 5 days xD
And it takes over a month to heal (:
November 10th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
it takes about two weeks to heal but it takes really a month to fully heal you mean it takes 2 to 5 days for the swelling to go down and yes thats normal for it to be tender cause it not fully healed
November 10th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
EVERYONE IS DOING IT
IT THE NEW GUCCI
COME ON GETT SOMETHING PIERCED
I HAVE HAD MY LIP PIECED FOR A YEAR AND A HALF
CAUSE IM A BADASS!!!!!
November 12th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
Hey, i got the right side of my bottom lip pierced about a month ago and i had a horse shoe like gauge. It was not painful at all, i was really suprised. But now sometimes when im moving it around it will hurt and feel really uncomfortable. Is this normal? because i thought it was completely healed.
November 18th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
Hey, I recently got a Labret piercing about 2 and a half weeks ago. Is it normal for like dried up puss or watever to be around it and for it to be a bit reddyish and to have puss there? Im worried? And im 13 and got it done and it doesnt hurt for the people that want to get it done and are worried it just feels like a lil pinch when the needle goes through then after that, cant feeel a thing.
December 4th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
will it have a scar after we planning to take it out? pls i need a answer because i just pierce and my parent are making a big problem!!!will the scar be obvious?
December 24th, 2008 at 2:46 am
HELLO WELL I GOT THE BOTTOM LEFT SIDE OF MY LIP PIERCED CLOSE TO 4 WEEKS AGO AND ITS STILL ALITTLE TENDER. THE INSIDE LOOKS LIKE ITS COMPLETELY HEALED AND DOESNT HURT AT ALL. BUT THE OUTSIDE HOLE HAS ALOT OF YELLOW PUS THAT BUILDS UP ON IT WITH JUST A FEW MIN. IS THAT NORMAL? AND THERES ALSO A LITTLE RED BUMP UNDERNEATH THE HOLE. I WENT TO MY PIERCER AND ASK HIM IF IT WAS NORMAL AND HE SAID “OH YEAH IT WILL GO AWAY WITHIN A FEW WEEKS”.
February 9th, 2009 at 9:14 am
Hey,
I’ve already had my labret pierced once and ended up having to take it out. i wanted it back again and instead of spending money i decided to pierce it again, on my own, in the same spot. do you think that will be ok? since you said that no one should do it on their own.
February 10th, 2009 at 4:52 pm
hi!! i got a piercing located under my lip on the right side. It has been two days and it hurts really bad!! i have yellow crust coming out the front? is that normal? the right side of my lip is swollen overlapping my top lip? is that normal? it is so swollen that i can’t see my earing in the front nor inside my lip? should i take it out. ive been icing it and cleaning it with peroxide? what am i doing wrong?
February 16th, 2009 at 4:10 am
I pierced my labret two days ago and its sore which I guess would be normal, but I switched the labret ring thing out and I noticed some white infection looking stuff inside, so I squeezed it out and put neosporin on it. I also noticed a ring around the piercing hole on the inside. Does this go away? Is it normal?
February 17th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
Ello, I’m getting my labret pierced in a couple of weeks, but my school doesn’t allow visible facial piercings. To get around that, I was going to use a clear retainer for the first month or so til school gets out. Is that a bad idea? I’m worried that not having a metal stud will affect the healing process. With my luck (or lack of), it’d heal all freakily or not at all. Is there a chance of that at all?? Please let me know!!! ASAP!!!
February 18th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
i pierced my labret myself. about 4 weeks ago. and its actually doing really good. i ended up doing a total of 3 times. first and second was with a saftey needle the other with a piercing needle. ive taken care of it. people have looked at it and said its normal. ive been told by many who think its infected but its not!. i did play with it alot which that irritates it! DONT! and i am happy with it excpet that the ball on the bar falls off haha. but i might later on take it out and get my monroe!!!
)
February 24th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
my ball off of my labret piercing dropped off of the screw and i picked it off and washed it off and put the stud back in but it was a couple of hours that the stud was not in my labret and i found the stud and stuck it back it will this cause any problems? and am i able to change the piercing with another stud since my ball keeps coming off of my screw that the piercer put in my labret?
March 8th, 2009 at 12:04 am
I’ve had my labret pierced for almost 10 years and can say that if you wear a hoop that it shouldn’t bother your teeth as much, I recently got snake bites (which are two piercings on either side of my bottom lip) and have to say that the piercing, with the proper jewelry are very elegant. But with any facial piercings you should pay a lot of attention to it, keep them clean. And lets be completely honest…………you only get one set of teeth but you can pierce almost anything so don’t wait till it’s to late:)
March 16th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
hi i got my right side labret pierced about 3 weeks ago my daughter head butted me right in the mouth and it swelled immediately after! it use to bleed from the inside alot at night and now after the head butt it looks swollen around the ring and its dark in colour! idk what to do… i dont get it downsized til next week but id like to know wut to do til then
March 19th, 2009 at 3:21 am

March 23rd, 2009 at 7:22 pm
i was just wondering if someone will peirce my labret for 40 bucks
if i should trust them. cuz other places are like 60-70 dollors.
and 40 sounds pretty cheap plz get back to me when ever =)
thanks.
March 24th, 2009 at 9:08 am
Heey,
I got my labret pierced about 3-4 weeks ago.
Mines turning out pretty well,
Yes it is normal to have dried puss around your piercing,
But dont pick it off, cause then it leaves scar tissue.
Also mine was red and tender for the first little bit,
But now its doing great,
Just make sure you clean it 2-3 times a day,
I use stuff called distilled witch hasel,
It works amazing.
Also dont change your first piercing until it is completely healed,
it will be very painful to put a new one in.
Any questions just ask.
April 20th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
hey… i have had my labret for almost half a year, but everytime i want to change it the new one gets swallen and hurts… seems like the hole is taking to much to heal. if anyone had the same problem please let me know…
May 7th, 2009 at 9:25 pm

May 7th, 2009 at 9:27 pm

May 11th, 2009 at 3:07 pm

Hey i did my labret piercing two days ago and its doing ok. Only the inside of my mouth the disk rubs against the bottom of my gum a lot when i smile or close my mouth. It hurts and i wonder if i pierced it too low. Is there any way of knowing where to place it and if it will always hurt?
June 6th, 2009 at 12:50 am
Well, I didn’t get my labret done, but I got a monroe, and their are similar issues between these peircings.
I got it done in April over Easter Break by a professional, and it healed pretty quickly, with completley normal pus, swelling and pain and redness. It hurt to smile and laugh for a couple weeks and it was pink for the first three weeks.
I changed the labret about a month after the initial piercing, and it swelled up again, and bled a little and there was a lot of scar tissue. I just changed it again tonight, and you can see where the skin from inside my lip is sticking out. It hurt quite a bit to put it back in tonight, but I managed.
I can only guess that the pain will go away eventually, so I just have to put up with it until then considering I love my Monroe.
If your considering getting a labret peircing I would strongly go with snakebites which were my first choice before a Monroe, but my mom said no. Monroes are adorable too.. On guys and girls. You get like, loads of compliments trust me=)
June 19th, 2009 at 7:18 pm
I got my bottom lip pierced about two months ago. Everything was great until last night. I took it out because I had an interview and notice a white ring on the outer side surrounding the labret. I picked at it and pulled it out… I kept pulling it and by the time I noticed it was about 12 inches out and STILL going. It was very disgusting. So then I cut it with some tweezers. I looked at the inside of my lip and there was the white stuff again… I pulled it to get it out and slipped right out of my hands and went into my lip. Now I have this ball thing stuck and can’t get my labret in. When I woke up this morning it was sour, not even when I got it done was it this painful. Has this happened to anyone? If yes, what did you do?
July 5th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
Ok so I got the left side labret done 4 days ago and I am nervous as I have noticed as of yesterday that the inside of my lip as well as the outside is sinking in. The ball on the outside is sinking in the piercing whole and the flat plate on the inside is sinking into my lip as well. My bottom lip on the left is swollen and a bit tender as well. Is this normal??
July 16th, 2009 at 9:07 pm
hello i was wondering i have my labret piercing for 2 months nao but recently i change da jewelry is hurts a little and pus often comes out can dis be an infection?
July 27th, 2009 at 8:29 am
I have wanted to get my labret done for years now but i have a biger bottom lip so I think it will look funny. I have no idea, What do you think?
July 28th, 2009 at 8:14 am
Just a quick question: I had my bottom lip pierced on my right hand side. The swelling didnt bother me, i know that its not going to heal overnight. After reading the comments above and some other research, i found out it may take up to a year to completely heal.. which is fine by me..
My question is, and i know you shouldnt play with it, but… when i move my jaw around and hook the base of stud on my tooth it sends a little jolt into my lip.
Does anyone know if this is normal, or did the “piercer” accidentally hit a nerve? Im learning to just leave it, but its new so im still getting used to it. If he has hit a nerve, will the nerve grow around it or will i lose feeling in my lip after time?
I also see that the last person to comment was over a month ago, and i dont know if should wait that long. Ill ask elsewhere in the meantime, and if no-one replies, then im just going to have to get used to either the jolts or having no feeling in my bottom lip.
Thanks for your time.. Hope i get a response fairly quickly.
