What is a labret?

A labret is a type of body piercing that is located in the lower lip, specifically in the center, below the bottom lip. It is typically adorned with a small piece of jewelry, such as a stud or a ring.

Labret piercings can be done on either side of the lower lip or in the center, depending on personal preference. They are considered a popular form of body modification and have been practiced for centuries in various cultures around the world.

The healing time for a labret piercing can vary, but it typically takes between 6 to 8 weeks for the initial swelling and redness to subside. During the healing process, it is important to keep the area clean and avoid any activities that could irritate the piercing.

It is important to go to a professional and experienced piercer for a labret piercing to ensure that it is done safely and correctly. Additionally, proper aftercare is crucial to prevent infections and promote healing.
