Hello! I got my central Labret done almost 3 weeks ago with a titanium flat back and it's healing very happily. I just downsized it from a 12mm bar (it was so inconvenient and seemed to actually be putting it in more danger!!) To an 8mm bar. There was never any swelling or anything.
I'm curious now after downsizing it if it was pierced too low to be suitable for a ring in a couple months when fully healed? It was always my intention to put a ring in it and I made that clear to my piercer... However when I search online I see many are pierced directly under the lipline?
My lip is large and protrudes a bit so that probably affected the placement?
The piercing sits well inside my mouth and doesn't seem to touch my teeth or gums (that I'm aware of).
(For the Algorithm)
Piercing 3 weeks old.
Labret jewelry. Titanium. Internally threaded.
