Anti-eyebrow Piercing[edit]

An anti-eyebrow piercing is a type of facial piercing that is placed above the cheekbone or below the eyebrow. It is also known as a "teardrop" or "upper cheek" piercing. This piercing is typically done with a small surface bar or a curved barbell, and it is known for its aesthetic appeal and unique placement.

Procedure[edit]

The procedure for an anti-eyebrow piercing involves the use of a needle to create a small hole in the skin where the jewelry will be placed. The piercer will first clean the area and mark the entry and exit points for the piercing. A clamp may be used to hold the skin in place, and then the needle is inserted through the skin, followed by the jewelry.

Jewelry[edit]

The most common types of jewelry used for anti-eyebrow piercings are surface bars and curved barbells. Surface bars are designed to sit flat against the skin, reducing the risk of migration and rejection. Curved barbells can also be used, but they may increase the risk of complications due to their shape.

Healing and Aftercare[edit]

Healing time for an anti-eyebrow piercing can vary, but it typically takes between 6 to 12 weeks. Proper aftercare is essential to prevent infection and promote healing. This includes cleaning the piercing with a saline solution, avoiding touching the piercing with dirty hands, and avoiding makeup or skincare products near the piercing site.

Risks and Complications[edit]

As with any body piercing, there are risks associated with anti-eyebrow piercings. These include infection, scarring, and jewelry rejection. Surface piercings like the anti-eyebrow are more prone to migration and rejection due to the tension placed on the skin. It is important to follow aftercare instructions and consult a professional piercer if any issues arise.
