Although still a nostril piercing, high nostrils are pierced above the alar crease and generally have longer healing times to a standard nostril.
Anatomy will play a large part in where the piercings can be placed and how that may affect healing, so we require a consultation with one of our practitioners before your piercing appointment.
Wearing glasses can cause complications, if they slide down and knock the piercings. It is recommended to tighten/adjust glasses before having the piercing done, to prevent irritation occurring during the healing.
