I got my lip done two days ago, and I LOVE IT!!! It didnt hurt at all, but its a little swolen and sore now. Ive been cleaning it with Dial soap and Listerene. If any of you guys have suggestions as to reduce the swelling... please let me know. I dont wanna be walking around lookin like Jimmy Walker. lol

I love it!

Mine swole? up just a little the day after.. but it's back down already. My guy said you could use medicine for the swelling.. there are lots of different kinds. I think ibuprofen should work wonders for it.

I hear salt water works well for the inside(as it does for most mouth injuries)...

and use Non-alcoholic mouthwash! Listerine is going to make it irritated because of the alcohol in it!

sea salt past on the outside (make it about apple sauce consistancy, dab it on, let it sit, wash it off) but not inside your mouth. Take asprin/what'ev for pain or an anti inflamitory. Don't use alcoholic mouth wash, or brush agressively in that area. Massage AROUND the area and move the bar (twist, rock back and forth) to make sure the skin doesn't latch on. Rotate your ring too. Wait two weeks minimum. If you treat it right, after about a year, you can go with it empty with no worries (I do it for months straight) and you'll have a nice hole thats flush with your skin.

..I love my lip... >D

Thanks for all of your help. I used sea salt and it worked wonders. The swelling is down considerably and its not as irritated

Ahh, the Rents must be anti-holes-in-your-body like mine >D


My mom didn't even notice mine for the first few days, it wasn't till I chipped my tooth and had to show her that she did..

After your two weeks are up, buy a clear post and wear it, so as to be respectful to your 'rents. Jewelry when you go out.

I was going to ask if you had MSN (because my computer hates AIM) but then I became quite amused by the fact that my name is pretty much 100% taken over the top ten threads list. x)
