Lip Plate Stretching
Lip plate stretching involves inserting a plate into a pierced lip, gradually increasing size. Healing requires diligent aftercare, risk level is moderate to high, and it's typically performed by experienced piercers, originating from African and Amazonian cultures.
High Risk Modification
Lip Plate Stretching carries significantly higher risks than standard tattooing or piercing. Complications can be permanent and in some cases life-altering. This procedure requires a practitioner with specific, verifiable training and experience. Research thoroughly and consult a medical professional before proceeding.
Extreme Risk Category
Modifications in this category carry high risk of permanent complication including vision loss, nerve damage, scarring, or systemic infection. These are not decisions to make impulsively. Consultation with multiple experienced practitioners and a medical professional is strongly advised.
