It is possible for this piercing to take up to 12 weeks to completely heal depending upon the aftercare that is given and how healthy the individual is.

Jestrum Lip Piercing

There are a number of great options for lip piercings, but the Jestrum piercing is a great alternative. Double perforations of the upper lip exist, with two exit points, one positioned above the lip and the other directly beneath it. In addition, there are two visible exit points that make it possible to wear a variety of jewelry such as labrets and barbells.

There are some lip shapes where this piercing may not be appropriate. It may not be possible for a person with smaller lips to get the jewelry through the tissue due to lack of space. Furthermore, the upper lip piercing should be centered and aligned exactly with the lower lip as any misalignment would cause the whole face to become less symmetrical.

Compared to other types of piercing, this one is slightly more painful. Due to the double perforation that this piercing will require, you will experience greater discomfort than you would with other traditional piercings.

The healing time for the outer part of a Jestrum piercing is usually within 6 to 12 weeks, and it takes around 6 months for the inner part of the piercing.

Angel Bites Lip Piercing

A double perforation is made above the upper lip in this style. Located on both sides of the lip, this piercing is symmetrical. Generally, people choose easy jewelry that is simple in design, such as gemstones or beads, although they also choose hoop styles like seamless rings or captive bead rings.

A piercing on the angel bites can be used to experiment with different combinations and jewelry. Among other things, this piercing would look great with a nasal septum.

You will experience some discomfort during the procedure because the upper lip area is covered with numerous nerve endings. Although the puncture is performed quickly, you might find that your lips are sore and swollen for a couple of days following the procedure. When this happens, there is no reason to worry. However, if pain persists, it would be wise to seek medical advice.
