What is anti eyebrow piercing?

Anti eyebrow piercings are a type of surface piercing that is located just below the lower orbital rim of the eye, typically on the cheekbone. This placement gives the illusion that the piercing is located above the eyebrow, hence the name "anti-eyebrow."

The piercing is usually done with a straight barbell or surface bar, with the initial jewelry being longer to accommodate for swelling. The healing time for an anti eyebrow piercing can vary, but generally takes around 6-8 weeks to fully heal.

Like all surface piercings, anti eyebrow piercings are prone to migration and rejection due to the body's natural tendency to push out foreign objects. Proper aftercare, including cleaning the piercing with saline solution and avoiding irritation from makeup or touching, can help prevent complications.

It's important to note that anti eyebrow piercings are considered to be more painful than some other facial piercings due to the sensitive nature of the area. Additionally, because of the placement of the piercing, it may be more prone to snagging or catching on clothing or hair, so caution should be taken to avoid irritation.
