How to choose a Monroe piercing earring
It is best if Monroe's piercing earring is provided by the salon where you plan to do it. If you decide to choose it yourself, you should not immediately buy the precious metal. In the first months, there is a high risk of its oxidation, as a result of which the work will have to be redone after 1-3 months.
If, nevertheless, stop on gold, then the fineness should be at least 585. You can immediately buy a niobium earring, which is usually used 1-2 weeks after the piercing.
The ideal solution is to use titanium labrets for the first time. Their length, in order for the wound to heal faster, should be at least 5 mm and no more than 10 mm. The maximum permissible width is 1.8 mm. A ring made of the same material with a small ball is ideal. Next, be sure to make sure that there is no sample in the place where the earring will come into contact with the face. It irritates the skin and slows down the wound healing process.
Pay attention to the type of puncture: for transverse and longitudinal microbananas are relevant, and vertical requires circulars and segment rings.
Before purchasing a piece of jewelry, attach it to the place where it will be attached. The earring for piercing Monroe should not rub against the skin, otherwise there is a high risk of overgrowth of surrounding tissues, and then the help of a surgeon will be needed.
Important! To avoid poisoning, surgical steel, which contains a lot of nickel, should be discarded. This substance can easily enter the lymph and blood, leading to intoxication.
Step-by-step instructions for performing Monroe piercings
Before you sit down in a chair to the master, make sure of his experience. To do this, look at the photos of his work, read the reviews about him, ask your questions. It is very important not to worry, which only contributes to the intensification of painful sensations. Take a sedative if needed.
Next, make sure that the specialist puts on disposable sterile gloves, opens the needle in front of you and sterilizes all the necessary instruments. This will avoid infection.
This is how the puncture procedure looks like:
- Preparation … Before getting a Monroe piercing, the client is asked to sit comfortably on the couch. In this case, the head should be approximately at an angle of 45 degrees to the floor.
- Disinfection … At this stage, the master treats the puncture site and surrounding tissues with an antiseptic. For this, formic alcohol is usually used.
- Anesthesia … Anesthesia is done only at your request and is needed only with increased skin sensitivity. To do this, the client is injected subcutaneously with lidocaine or any other anesthetic drug. It takes effect in 5-10 minutes.
- Determination of the puncture site … The beautician marks the boundaries of the puncture and coordinates them with the client. The zone is shifted up, down or sideways if necessary.
- Puncture … If the needle method was chosen, then the catheter needle is disinfected and lubricated with petroleum jelly. Then it is gently pressed into the skin pushed to the side or forward. This is necessary so as not to injure the gum. The needle is directed upward or to the side (depending on which puncture is chosen, vertical or horizontal).
- Fitting the earring … The cap is removed from the end of the needle and the earring itself is threaded along the same path. At the end, the needle is carefully removed from the puncture made, and the earring is already fixed in it with tweezers. In total, this procedure takes about 15 minutes.
Features of Monroe piercing care
In the first 5-7 days, the wound may bleed. After about 3 days, redness and swelling appear in the puncture area. There is nothing wrong with that, it calmly goes away after a week. If this does not happen, you should immediately contact your specialist.
To recover faster, you need to stop eating solid foods. Everything that requires active movement of the jaws is excluded. This will prevent the earring from opening and falling out.
After a puncture, it is important to treat this place 3 to 5 times a day with Miramistin or Chlorhexidine. To do this, a sterile cotton swab is moistened in a solution and the problem area is lubricated with it. At the same time, the labret should be gently pushed aside. Your task is to remove from the wound all traces of blood and lymph, if any.
Here's how to care for your Monroe piercing:
- For 2 weeks, it is important to give up too hot and cold dishes.
- You can not use carbonated and alcoholic drinks for 3 days.
- For the first week, use chlorhexidine as a mouthwash after meals.
- It is important to brush your teeth gently, without sudden movements.
- You must quit smoking for at least a week.
- It is not worth visiting the solarium, swimming pool, sauna, beach and bathhouse for 10 days.
If the wound around the earring does not heal for a long time (more than a week), lubricate it with Levomekol ointment or its analogues. During this time, the decoration must not be changed. This is done only after the first earring has taken root.
On average, it takes about 15 days to recover from a Monroe piercing. At this time, slight painful sensations may occur. To eliminate them, it is enough to drink Ketanov or other analgesics.
Do not touch the puncture with dirty fingers. If the jewelry is lost, it must be replaced with a new one after 3-7 days, so that the deepening does not tighten. To avoid spontaneous opening of the earrings, sleep on the side opposite to the puncture. It is not recommended to rest your face on the bed, as the bed linen will chafe your already sensitive skin.
How to remove an earring without any problems
This should be done only when you are sure that you are no longer going to put the jewelry back on, or you decide to immediately change it to a more expensive one. If you leave the puncture without it, the hole will quickly overgrow, and then you will need to contact a specialist again. In the first week, it is best to remove the earring in the salon, as the wound has not yet fully healed and may begin to bleed.
Detailed instructions on how to cope with everything yourself:
- Wash your hands with antibacterial soap to remove all dirt and prevent infection.
- Put on sterile disposable gloves.
- Lubricate the puncture site and the area around it with alcohol.
- Using your index finger and thumb, gently scroll the lambrette in a circle, first to the left and then to the right.
- Pull the earring towards you slowly. It should go outside freely. If this does not happen, repeat the movements from point 4.
- Treat the desired area with Miramistin, moisten a cotton pad in it and pass it over the skin. At the same time, you cannot press on the problem area. During this time, you may experience slight discomfort and pain.
The removed earring, if you plan to use it in the future, should be stored in a small bag, away from the sun and moisture.
