i got my tongue peirced 2 weeks on Thursday and i had no swelling .. just take strong ibrobrophen or paracetamol and youll be fine just listen to your peircer about how to care for it and don't eat solids for the first 2 days and that will cause more swelling :)
It certainly is advisable. After you get your tongue pierced, you will want to eat a lot of popsicles to reduce the swelling.
Swelling might be a sign of infection
It will swell but not enough to make you look pregnant.
Got my Monroe pierced a couple days ago the swelling will go down then come back a few hours later the go back down again, is that normal ?
Yes, inflammation is part of the natural healing process. It varies from person to person exactly how much swelling, but generally everyone who gets anything pierced will experience inflammation.
i have never had my lip pierced, but my friend did and it swelled up, so she put ice on it and the swelling went down. try it. i hope it works for you.
Not right away. You have to wait at least 2 weeks or until the swelling has gone down.
i got my tragus pierced yesterday and it hurts pretty bad. it heels about 3 months or so
Yes, this is due to the localized swelling from the piercing process. Follow the aftercare guide you were provided with by your piercer and the swelling should go down in a few days.
Yes! I got mine pierced yesterday for the second time and i have a slight lisp nothing major though, the first time i got my tongue pierced the lisp lasted about 3 days till the swelling went down and my mouth adjusted to having a bar in it..hope this helps :)
visit your ear piercing salon where you got it pierced and if they can't do anything to help then they will refer you to your GP so visit your doctor and he/she will tell you what to do. Swelling is not uncommon with some piercings, this can be due to the type of piercing and the location of the piercing. Oral piercings around the mouth will swell this is due to the nature of the tissue that was pierced. Eyebrow piercings can swell and even bruise, this is not uncommon again due to the nature of the tissue being pierced. Your aftercare guide should instruct you on how to treat localized swelling for the piercing you have. Ultimately if you are in doubt if the swelling is normal go back and see your piercer.
Yes. All of that movement will delay the healing process and possibly increase swelling and irritation.
