TYPES OF NAVEL PIERCINGS
The needle entry point is determined just above the umbilicus line in the middle of the umbilical cavity. The shackle of the jewelry used for the first time has a length of 0.8 mm.
Depending on the technique, the following types of punctures are distinguished:
- Superior. Standard option used on the 95% cases. Piercing of the upper fold of the navel is performed with the installation of a banana or ball. After healing, you can replace it with earrings with rhinestones, pendants or other jewelry.
- Multiple. A rarely used technique, whose characteristic is the perforation of several areas. It is sometimes combined with microdermals and flat bone piercings. No more than two zones are processed in a session.
- Lower. The most unpopular technique due to long healing time, difficult maintenance, risk of clothing damage, and rejection.
JEWELRY OPTIONS
The best solution for a new puncture is a banana of an individually selected length. You should not put pressure on the piercing in case of inflammation of the tissue. Experienced doctors recommend large earrings for the first time. After complete healing, a smaller banana or any other earrings are selected.
For this procedure, special jewelry made of hypoallergenic medical metal - titanium is used. Surgical steel, silver and gold contain nickel and are not suitable for recent piercings due to the risk of an allergic reaction. An experienced specialist from the Bionics Center in St. Petersburg will definitely help you with the choice of earrings, taking into account anatomy and your personal wishes, and will also tell you when you can replace the piercing with gold or any other.
