Frenulum piercing under the tongue (Frenulum)

Piercing is the piercing of different parts of the body for the purpose of decoration with earrings and special products made from hypoallergenic materials. For quick and successful healing, it is necessary to correctly make the hole and care for it according to the rules and recommendations of the master. There are different types of piercings, but the most popular are those placed in the facial area. If you want to have an earring, but due to certain circumstances it cannot be shown openly, you can choose a frenulum piercing under the tongue.

How is frenulum made?

Your work with a piercer will begin with a detailed consultation. He will tell you about all the nuances, list contraindications and make sure that your lifestyle and health state allow you to get this type of puncture. Then the master will disinfect, fix the bridle in the desired position and insert a disposable needle, after which he will immediately put on the jewelry. The good news is that you won't need any pain relief. The mucous fold under the tongue, which we call the frenulum, is almost devoid of nerve endings, and its thickness at the site of the frenulum puncture is only about a millimeter.

Types of punctures

There are many types of tongue piercings, including:

Classic . It is performed by vertically puncturing the body of the tongue followed by installing a stud.
Horizontal . The most difficult type of puncture, as it is performed in the horizontal plane, where the tongue is thickest. Rarely practiced, usually by people experienced in various types of piercings.
Double (plural) . It consists of combining several types of punctures, with the installation of several different decorations.
Tip puncture . It is performed as close as possible to the end of the body of the tongue, after which rings of various diameters and thicknesses are installed.
Frenum piercing . The frenulum is a small, thin piece of tissue under the tongue. Due to this, the accessory can be easily hidden and shown only to selected people.

Peculiarities

Benefits of frenulum piercing:

pierced quickly and without severe pain;
hidden from prying eyes;
looks impressive and original;
can be shown without using your hands, simply by raising your tongue (unlike piercing the frenulum of the lower or upper lip, for example).

True, body modifications in this part of the mouth also have a significant drawback. The tongue is one of the most mobile muscles, so a fresh wound will constantly be under stress. Add to this the need to eat and drink, and you have an additional risk factor. And smokers and lovers of long kisses are forced to come to terms with a longer healing period for any body modifications in the oral cavity. Keep this in mind when choosing what to pierce.

Victorian Pleasure2

It is worth saying that the “Prince Albert” piercing is not a collective name. This is one of the varieties of piercing techniques. Namely, when the master punches a hole through the urethra, coming out. In addition to this, there are many other techniques and places of piercing (frenum, Dido, aradraiva, ampallanga, etc.).

They differ in localization. However, with Alberta everything happens much faster and more painlessly. The puncture heals within a month and a half. All thanks to the successful placement of the puncture. Urine here acts as a healing and disinfectant every time you go to the toilet.

Treatment of external punctures is carried out according to the same scheme as with frenum or ampallang. The main thing is to wait for complete healing to begin further experiments in the field of sex or start making new punctures. It is believed (and confirmed) that penile piercings provide additional stimulation during sex.

How to care

The technician will not let you leave the salon without a detailed instruction on how to care for a fresh piercing. Be sure to follow all the points and do not engage in “folk” methods such as twisting the earrings or rinsing with peroxide. Try to postpone all activities associated with long conversations or large feasts. Let the tongue be as quiet as possible - then the wound will heal quickly and without complications. You should also take care of other people's microflora: explain to your loved one that it is better to postpone kissing for a week. If you smoke, you should switch to electronic devices for the first time or give up this habit altogether.

Who should not get oral piercing and when?

There are few contraindications to this type of piercing, but they still exist. Not recommended:

Pregnant women . Due to the possible risk of infection and resulting stress.
For children . Piercing is contraindicated for children due to active tissue growth, which can lead to stretching of the puncture and a significant enlargement of the hole.
People under the influence of alcohol or drugs . This is due to possible inappropriate behavior of a person during the procedure, which can cause harm to himself and the master. This condition is also dangerous due to profuse hemorrhage.
People who are allergic to antiseptics.
People who suffer from epilepsy, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases , or have a fear of blood.

Wide range of piercings3

What are we all about "Prince Albert"? No, he, of course, deserves increased attention due to the fact that it all started with him, but now it’s time to discuss other, no less interesting types of penis piercing. You can experiment a lot in this area: pierce the foreskin, the skin of the penis or the scrotum. And the assortment of jewelry will not leave anyone indifferent: rings, barbells, horseshoes and earrings. It is worth considering in more detail other types of punctures:

Ampallanga. Characterized by a transverse puncture of the head of the penis. If the client wants, he can pierce slightly above the urethra. The healing process lasts from three to nine months.
Aradrive. Here, on the contrary, a vertical puncture of the head is performed. It is done in such a way that the bottom ball of the bar is located at the base. Even though the healing process lasts for several months, many have noticed that sex with this particular piercing becomes much brighter with increased sensitivity.

These techniques are characterized by increased complexity; there are also simpler options.

Dido. A very simple technique, characterized solely by puncture of the edge of the head. A barbell with balls along the edges is placed in the resulting hole. Since Dido looks neat, many men do several punctures at once (but at intervals).

Frenum. Here the craftsman punches a bridle, into which any decoration can then be inserted: from a primitive barbell to a massive ring. With frenum for men, the process of ejaculation is somewhat delayed, which prolongs sexual intercourse. Here you can also experiment and add a few more punctures nearby.

It is not necessary to do more perverted procedures. It is enough to make a simple and neat piercing that will not disappoint.

Possible complications

Care includes:

Daily disinfection of swollen skin with antiseptic and antimicrobial agents externally and internally (Chlorhexidine, Levomekol) after each meal.
Apply Miramistin ointment to the area.
Do not use decorative cosmetics.
Do not remove jewelry.
If possible, avoid touching the problem area with your hands.
For a week, do not eat hot or cold food, avoid salty and spicy foods. Include as many vegetables as possible in your diet.
Take B vitamins as prescribed by your doctor.
Quit drinking and smoking for at least a week.
Take care of your skin after healing: avoid injury and damage.

The listed antimicrobial ointments and antiseptics for treatment can be purchased at the pharmacy without a doctor's prescription.

Possible complications:

The wound may fester and take a long time to heal. This is a common consequence of performing the procedure at home.
Allergic reactions commonly occur to nickel, which is used as an alloying additive in tool steel (surgical steel for jewelry).
Formation of keloids and scars.
Injuries cause swelling and slow healing.
Rejection by the body.
Injuries to the teeth, oral cavity, gums (especially important when piercing the frenulum).
Unsuccessful work of the master: lip piercing when there is no symmetry.

Infection is manifested by the discharge of pus, swelling, and soreness. The best option if such symptoms are detected is to remove the jewelry, treat the puncture site with an antiseptic and consult a doctor. Another possible problem with this type of piercing is frenulum rupture. Such an injury may not only occur during the healing period.

You can minimize the likelihood of rupture by choosing the correct puncture site and handling it with extreme caution throughout the entire period of wearing the jewelry. Other consequences of smiley piercing are dental problems

Many experts argue that any punctures in which jewelry (or parts thereof) are in the oral cavity are harmful to teeth. However, this warning rarely stops real piercing enthusiasts.

Remember also about the contact of jewelry with teeth. Constant friction can damage the enamel. Moreover, the earring can move down if your bridle is too thin.

Is it painful to pierce and precautions

“Smile” piercing, both at home and in the salon, on the frenulum of the upper lip does not require anesthesia. The whole procedure takes 1-2 minutes. There is no severe pain, but tolerable pain is possible.

If the specialist sees that the skin in the area of the future hole is dense or the client has a low pain threshold, then anesthesia is possible using local drugs - Ultracaine, Novocaine, Lidocaine sprays. To use medications, the client must provide a certificate of absence of allergic reactions to them. Otherwise, anesthesia will be denied, so it is better to visit a doctor in advance.

Piercing called a smiley can have the following consequences:

displacement of the earring due to violation of puncture technology;
inflammation;
rejection by the body;
damage to the enamel if the jewelry comes into regular contact with the teeth;
dropping of the earring when the skin on the frenulum is too thin.

Smile piercing can avoid consequences and complications if you follow the recommendations of the master in the post-procedure period.

Consequences and contraindications

In some cases, a cheap accessory and careless work by a technician can lead to gradual damage to tooth enamel. In such cases, it is worth removing the jewelry and starting the restoration procedure.

There is a risk of swallowing jewelry, which quite often happens at night while sleeping. It is necessary to either remove it at night or check the quality of its connection before going to bed.

Smile piercing is a piercing of the frenulum located in the inner cavity of the mouth in the upper jaw area. This variety was invented relatively recently and first became popular in Europe, and then spread throughout the world. Every day hundreds of young people insert an earring into their frenulum. What is the secret of popularity and who is Smiley suitable for?

Side effects of piercing

The side effects that can occur after getting a piercing are numerous. Incorrect installation of piercings in both the upper and lower lips can lead to irreversible consequences, such as damage to the facial nerve. Also, the piercing procedure itself guarantees inevitable swelling and bleeding .

Regular contact of metal parts with tooth enamel leads to its damage, this can be either minor microcracks or severe chips . In fact, the teeth of a person who has had an oral piercing are constantly injured 24 hours a day . When you talk, chew, or simply move your tongue, the hard metal earring continually damages your tooth enamel .

After some time, tiny cracks invisible to the human eye develop into quite serious problems. There is increased sensitivity of the teeth to irritants such as cold, heat and acids. Constant irritation of the nerve leads to caries .

Due to the occurrence of galvanic currents between the metal of the earring and other metals in the mouth, severe irritation of the pulp . Plus, this is facilitated by the acidic environment in the mouth.

Piercing also entails a change in the normal function of the oral cavity. Foreign objects, in particular jewelry in the mouth, can provoke excessive saliva production, which can significantly affect the clarity of pronunciation , as well as chewing and swallowing food . This is not particularly convenient in everyday life.

Contraindications and care for under tongue piercings

The frenulum can be pierced only after a detailed examination and assessment of the condition of the frenulum. There are features of the anatomical structure of the organ that do not allow the installation of an earring under the tongue. If the size and length of the frenulum allow it to be pierced, then the general health of the body is assessed:

autoimmune diseases;
insulin-dependent diabetes;
allergic reaction to antibacterial drugs and antiseptics;
pregnancy;
period of acute course of chronic diseases;
insufficient blood clotting;
AIDS, HIV;
neurological pathologies;
age under 18 years;
epilepsy.

The procedure is prohibited for clients under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

To avoid negative reactions, inflammation and rejection, it is necessary to provide the piercing with proper home care. During the healing period, you must strictly follow all the recommendations of the master:

Regular rinsing of the mouth using antiseptics.
Cleaning after every meal.
Resorption of lollipops and drugs with an antibacterial component.

During the procedure, a temporary decoration is installed, which can be replaced after 12 days, plus or minus two days. At first, your lip and tongue will swell and hurt. To alleviate the condition, it is recommended to rinse with cold water and ice.

In the first month, you should not eat hard foods, hot, spicy, salty or sour foods. It is advisable to stop smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages.

The speed at which a wound heals depends on the body’s ability to recover.

How the procedure works at home and in the salon

It is allowed to pierce the frenulum under the upper lip with a needle yourself. The main thing is that home conditions comply with sanitary standards. The procedure is simple and easy to carry out if you have the necessary tools.

How to pierce a frenulum yourself:

Purchase the following instruments at a pharmacy or specialty store: needle with catheter, forceps.
Disinfect all accessories before the procedure: place them in a container filled with alcohol and sterilize. The disposable needle must be in sterile individual packaging.
Place all the necessary accessories on a clean cloth near the mirror, make sure there is good lighting.
Wash your hands with germicidal soap and wear disposable sterile gloves.
Take the forceps with your left hand and the needle with your right.
The upper lip is fixed with forceps and lifted towards the nose.
Pre-treat your mouth with a disinfectant solution.
With a sharp and confident movement of your hand, insert the needle into the frenulum. The end is cut off, an earring is inserted into the cavity, which is carefully inserted into the resulting hole and fixed.
The smiley-shaped puncture must be treated with an antiseptic again.

You can only make one puncture per procedure! If the frenulum is torn or the location is chosen incorrectly, you can pierce it again only after the wound has completely healed.

How to get a frenulum piercing under the upper lip done in a salon:

The master and the client choose jewelry for the future piercing.
The instruments and earring are placed in an autoclave for disinfection.
A consultation is held on how to provide care and speed up healing, and contraindications are discussed.
The oral cavity is treated with an antiseptic, and the frenulum is lubricated separately.
The lip is pinched with forceps and raised.
A hole is made with a sterile disposable needle.
Without pulling out the needle, the master inserts the earring into its cavity and fixes it in the canal.
After the procedure, repeated disinfection of the oral cavity and wound is performed.

Smile piercing at home should be done carefully. It is advisable to have an assistant. If in doubt, it is better to consult a specialist.

It is forbidden to treat damage with alcohol and hydrogen peroxide due to the high risk of burning the mucous membrane.

After eating, be sure to rinse and clean your mouth. Use a solution of salt or potassium permanganate. Repeat manipulations until complete healing - 3-4 weeks.

In the first three days, smiling and eating will cause pain and discomfort. Anesthesia is not required, but if the discomfort is too severe, you can rinse with lidocaine solution or spray with a spray with a freezing effect.

Problems and inflammation

The main problems with tongue piercing healing are improper care, lack of oral hygiene, or the consequences of a healing process aggravated by colds.

The consumption of alcohol and other vasodilators leads not only to an increase in blood pressure, but also to a decrease in basic immune functions. Their oppression will have an extremely negative impact on healing and all the ensuing processes. It is worth knowing that lactose (dairy products) with reduced immunity and a general inflammatory process during the healing of the piercing can cause candidiasis.

Be careful with general hypothermia and being in ventilated rooms. Any colds, viral, mild or acute infectious processes have an extremely negative impact on recovery.

Protect yourself from mechanical damage at least for the first 3 weeks. The cracks formed from them can become an easy and quick way for microorganisms unnecessary for healing to penetrate into the wound cavity.

Advantages and disadvantages

Pros:

No need to worry about hiding your piercing (as long as you don't smile all the time)
It heals very quickly
Doesn't affect much tissue
Compliments
Large selection of jewelry.

Minuses:

Very painful
Has a high likelihood of rejection
Not suitable for everyone (for some people)
Slight natural movement of the lips can put pressure on the piercing
Risk of permanent damage to gums and teeth.

Associated inconveniences9

At first, a person may encounter difficulties in wearing clothes and in sexual intercourse when stimulating the penis. In any case, discomfort will be present, since there is a foreign object in the organ. To reduce discomfort, you should wear loose underwear and resume sexual activity gradually. Don't try to get back into the world of sex by having hard sex. You will probably experience completely new sensations during intimacy, which you need to get used to gradually.

It is also worth talking about difficulties urinating. The puncture can stretch so much that urine will flow from two openings at once - from the urethra and the puncture. In order not to catch the stream from the two holes, you need to press the puncture site with your finger when urinating. At first it may seem unusual, but soon you will stop paying attention to it altogether.

Anti-smile piercing

Also known as a frown piercing, it is done on the frenulum of the lower lip, the exact opposite of a smile piercing. It is barely noticeable unless you frown or lower your bottom lip to expose your bottom row of teeth and gum line. This piercing is less popular and because it is very discreet, it is suitable for those who like to keep their body changes a secret.

Like other types of piercings, they are subject to many risks and problems, such as rejection. It also cannot be performed if the frenulum is too small.

The standard jewelry for anti-smile piercings is a small, thin piece of jewelry, usually a size 16 or 18 and over half an inch in diameter. It is important to use the right type of jewelry to prevent damage to your teeth and gums.

How to make a smiley piercing?

For some reason, many people, especially minors, believe that they can do piercings themselves. Some people think that it is easy to pierce themselves, others seek professional services.

Although it may seem like a frenulum piercing is easy to do yourself, it is highly recommended that you consult with an experienced piercer so that they can determine if the frenulum is the right size and advise on the appropriate type and size of jewelry. Will also suggest proper post-operative care techniques to reduce the risk of infection and rejection.
