Smiley Piercing 

A smiley piercing is a type of oral piercing that goes through the small fold of tissue in the upper lip, just under the prenulum. This piercing is not only discreet but also gives the appearance of a "smiley" when the wearer smiles, hence its name. It's a unique and trendy piercing choice for those looking to express their individual styles.

During a smiley piercing procedure, a professional piercer will carefully puncture the thin tissue located in the upper lip, just beneath the frenulum. The frenulum is the small fold of tissue that connects the inside of the upper lip to the upper gum. Typically, a small, curved barbell or a circular ring is used as jewelry for a smiley piercing.

Here are the guidelines to care for your smiley piercing:
1. Maintain excellent oral hygiene by rinsing your mouth with a saline solution or non-alcoholic, alcohol-free mouthwash after meals and before bedtime.
2. Refrain from playing with the piercing using your tongue, and avoid oral contact with foreign objects, including oral activities that might irritate the piercing.
3. Clean the piercing site with saline solution or warm saltwater rinse at least once a day.
4. Be mindful of your diet to prevent irritation. Avoid spicy, hot, and acidic foods during the initial healing period.
5. Avoid touching the piercing with dirty hands.

The healing for a smiley piercing can vary from person to person, but on average, it takes about 2-4 months for the initial healing. During this period, it's crucial to follow proper aftercare guidelines, avoid disrupting the piercing, and maintain good oral hygiene to promote a smooth healing process. If you experience any unusual swelling, redness, or signs of infection, it's advisable to consult immediately with your piercer for guidance.
