I got my monroe piercing done about 2 days ago, but not the ring is slipping into the outside of my skin. I woke up this morning with it fulling submerged in my lip I had to push it out. Its really swollen but it doesn't hurt much at all. Its just slightly red because the ring keeps slipping in from the outside... what should I do?

Get ahold of the person who pierced you ASAP. I just got my vertical lip done today, am getting my monroe done in 2 weeks and have 4 facial piercings. What you are describing sounds like the piercer used too short of a piece of jewellery when you were pierced. Any time a piercing isn't healing regularly you should contact your piercer ASAP. It sounds like you need to have a longer piece of jewelry put in. But your piercer will know what to do. If you did not get it done professionally, go into a credible shop and ask what they think. If it was not done professionally it is even more likely that you probably need a longer jewel in it, at least during the swelling period. You may need to get a longer one temporarily until the swelling goes down and then go back and a shorter one may fit fine.

I had the same problem ! I got my monroe about 4 months ago and the ball on the outside of my lip keep sinking in ! It could be the piercer didn't use a long enough bar or you just need to give it time ! In my case I went back and they told to just give it time ! After about 3-4 weeks it was fine ! Good luck
