As a Dental Hygienist, piercing your tongue,lip,or chin is AWFUL for your teeth. And the damage may not show up for a while. Physiologically your body is meant to work in a certain way. If something is added or removed,it may not work the way nature meant it to work!

[@hannah.kate.]

As someone with a tongue piercing for about 7 years now, does swapping out metal jewellery for plastic do anything to mitigate the damage? Personally I’ve bitten down on my piercing by accident a few times and since I have an acrylic bar, the piercing will just break and there’s no outward damage to my teeth at all, but I imagine with a metal bar, an incident like that would be a lot more likely to break your tooth

[@emma.greenwood]

Can confirm having cracked a tooth crunching down on my tongue bar 🥹 my one and only filling. Gutted.

[@RebeccaHetrick]

I've had my tongue double pierced for over 20 years with zero dental issues. But I use plastic balls instead of metal.

[@RebeccaHetrick]

​@@hannah.kate.IT DEFINITELY DOES MATTER. As soon as I could, I changed both mine to plastic and I've never had an issue over 20 years later. The only problem is when you bite down on one of the plastic balls, it can break. I have swallowed many pieces of plastic, but I have never broken or cracked or even damaged any of my teeth...

[@hannah.kate.]

@@RebeccaHetrick I definitely thought so, considering how many acrylic piercings I’ve gone through - if I had exclusively metal, my teeth would probably be cracked to shit, but plastic bars are less expensive than dental work 😂

[@isabelleblanchet3694]

I'm not into body modification at all, I only have my ears pierced and it was done to me as a baby. I prefer to express my personality through non-permanent things like nail polish, dresses and fancy hats. But as long as people do not hurt other people, I do not care what they do to their own body and how they live their lives. My daughter asked to have her ears pierced for her 7th birthday. Waited 3 months of her asking at least once a week, to make sure she was serious about it, and I took her to a piercing and tattoo shop to do it. It's been 2 years and she has no regrets.

[@mandywaynick8725]

That's why I'm really not a fan of piercing a baby's ears, it's not their choice. I'm reminded of the scene from friends where Rachel's sister pierces her daughters ears without her permission.

[@mandywaynick8725]

@@Ya_boi_jasper yea you have to take them out before they finish healing to make them close up and then get them repierced after they are completely healed. You would have had to notice they were crooked pretty quickly though and I recomend a tattoo shop so they use a hollow needle so it takes out that little bit of skin instead of pushing it aside, can make it infected easier

[@Hana.Behl-Lecter]

I’m a female wrestler and I completely agree with the cartilage piercing statement. Just last week we were messing with some moves and the top and middle side of my left ear got crushed into my headgear. It was agonizing. It’s still bothering me. I have to keep a bandaid on it to keep my ear in place or else when I move it hurts.

[@EzioAuditoreDaFirenze99]

To prevent cauliflower ear use ice packs for two 15 minute intervals every day after an injury. If you do start to develop swelling it is important to get it treated and drained quickly because the fluid will harden after 7-10 days and become permenant. Use the appropriate headgear with good padding. Padding makes all the difference.

Stretched ears are actually not called gauges 😅 it's a common missunderstanding because a lot of people falsely call them gauges but that's actually the measurement of the piercing jewellery, not the piercings themselves. Usually people refer to them simply as stretched earlobes, sometimes plugs or tunnels but that's also the name of the jewellery, not the name of the bodymod itself.

[@yod4166]

Like any other procedure, body modifications should come with a risk/ benefit analysis. The problem is that the industry (especially for mods beyond simple tattoos & piercings) isn't really regulated appropriately in most countries. It can be hard for the consumer to know if the practitioner is safe and knowledgeable.

[@NeuroPunkNonsense]

I used to be super judgey about plastic surgery until I became fascinated with bodymod culture. It was easy to separate piercings from plastic surgery but after I got a couple tattoos I realized I shouldn't be judging people for changing their body to feel more comfortable in it. Doesn't matter if I understand it or not.

[@DaVinci368]

It’s body dysmorphia and when it endangers the patient or requires Otherwise healthy body tissue or organs to be amputated or compromised merely for arteries, that should be addressed by a psychologist, not a surgeon. Limited piercings, (not in cartilage) can at least be removed. Amputations are a one way street.

[@kyrastube]

As a modded person who's done a lot of research myself, I have to say that while yes, you can tear a stretched ear, as well as get a blow out, if you do it slow and steady, you minimise the risk. It's in no way something that is guaranteed to happen. My own stretched lobes still got pretty thick tissue all around, and thank god no blow outs either. I understand your perspective is coming from someone who mainly come in contact with people that have problems with their lobes. But, as I said, you can stretch them without doing damage.

[@foreverstrangeandunusual]

agreed! mine are 1.5 inch and Ive had them for about 17 years. It took me years to stretch them - I used weights instead of tapered stretchers, which seemed to be less damaging. My lobes are actually pretty nice and thick.

[@LaFlor718]

I stretched my lobes many times and they always go back to normal because I’m a wild sleeper and I wake up with my tunnels on my pillow lol. Never had a single issue and my loves always go back to their normal size. Like you said, go slowly. Time and patience is key.

[@countesscrows]

massaging the lobes with lotions or oils really helps too. Its like pregnant people putting special lotions on their abdominal skin to avoid stretch marks.

Most won't see body modification to this extreme in real life, but one type of body modification many have nowadays (including me) is tattoos - and it's not rare anymore to see someone with tattoos on big portion/most of their body. Sadly, there is still this perception that these people are scary/evil/thugs and so on... yet, from my experience, they are usually the nicest people. I personally never met a person with big amounts of tattoos that was dangerous, while on the other hand - I came across so many dangerous people who have no tattoos. There are always exceptions of course, and I know where this fear comes from... but times have changed. Therefore, the way people look at it should change as well. Tattoos does not equal danger.

[@rexrad9735]

The average soccer mom has tattoos nowadays, at least here in the US. I don't think anyone even notices them anymore. I don't know about people with tats being nice. I think people are good and bad, tattooed or not.

From my experience as someone heavily tattooed a lot of people go into it Wanting that negative attention and it definitely keeps it going. They want to be intimidating they want to scare elderly ppl and most importantly they want cry out discrimination when they get exactly what they wanted. Now for the ret who truly love art and truly Need to transform and express ourselves through transforming our bodies, that's different ❤️💐 just like body builders and avid work out routines. It's all about living in the body you love

[@Juxsu]

@@rexrad9735 I'm talking more about people with a big portion of their body tattooed/with very big visible tattoos that makes people think you are covered with them. If it doesn't cover a lot of skin, almost nobody cares anymore. Also, I find it different with girls. Usually when people with this outdated perceptions on tattoos see a heavily tattooed girl, they won't think "oh, she's dangerous", but something more along the lines of "she ruined her body and made herself ugly/less feminine" and shit like that.

[@Juxsu]

@@operationlivefree4536 well, yea, because you having tattoos doesn't make you nice just like it doesn't make you dangerous. It's just ink. I never met someone who does it to scare people or look intimidating, but of course there are people like this. Stupidity won't go away with the ink, and it takes a really stupid person to get tattoos for this reason. And still, I never met people like this personally even though I know many heavily tattooed people. I think that stands for something.

[@alessandrocernuzzi]

I have quite many piercings in my hears and several in the cartilage. It really takes a loooong time to heal them, because of poor blood supply, as dr. Youn said. They require constant care for a long time and at the same time they must be left alone completely. To fully heal it takes between 8 months to a years. They hurt quite a bit to do them, and particularly in the first month. If you pierce the cartilage you must be patient and have a healthy cleaning routine regularly. If you can't follow it, then don't do them. There are many piercings horror stories around the cartilages, they are no joke :)

[@EmmaJohnsonShenanigans]

this is the exact reason i have no piercings lol it’s terrifying

[@alessandrocernuzzi]

@@EmmaJohnsonShenanigans well, that's ok, you don't have to :) But if you go to a professional studio, follow your piercer guide and leave it alone and clean, you should be fine. Unless you're allergic to certain metaIs, you can also use Bioplast, if that's the case. It's not difficult, it just takes time and regular care to let them heal well :)

[@StefyB5]

I can totally confirm this. My helix was the worst in terms of pain and healing process. It took exactly the time you said, 8 full months to heal and in the meanwhile it was so painful, especially during the night when you put your head on the pillow and the piercing hits it. The guy who made it to me did a great job, but he really didn't mention how long would it take for it to heal, so I worried for a long while it would never heal. Now that it's all good I can't even feel it and I'm so happy to have it!

My fear with those is the same with over-use of plastic surgeries/tattoos: at what point can you not have enough? At what point will you compromise your health because you need more?

[@alessandrocernuzzi]

I think it's a little off to compare tattoos to plastic surgery. Tattoo culture is considered (and it is) a highly skilled form of art, with a huge variety of meanings and spiritual concepts. Body modification can be extreme, sure, but I think there is a distinction between a tattoo that represent an important aspect of someone's life (just to make an example) or getting boobs that are bigger than you car's tires just to fulfill some weird stereotype of appearance. Both sides can be over-used, as you said, but if you get tattoos from professionals you're not really putting your health in jeopardy. But a BBL can be fatal, even in the hands of the best surgeons.

@@spiderlily723 that’s one way of looking at it. Of course most of us who have multiple body mods aren’t stupid enough to go to some back alley artist. There are plenty of ways to know who you’re potentially going to have doing a tattoo or piercing for you. You can look at their work, read reviews online, word of mouth…etc. And yes, there is somewhat of a mental health factor involved. For me getting a tattoo representing someone who is or was part of my life has helped with my mental health. Same as my Supernatural themed tattoos.

I was a wild teenager. I had 6 earrings in each ear, stretched lobes (made it to 0 then had a blowout), barbell piercing on the top of one ear, eyebrow, nostril and septum piercing, shark bites (two piercings on each side of the lower lip), vertical labret (piercing in the middle of the lower lip that only goes through the top and out the bottom without going straight through the lip like normal lip piercings), navel, and finger. I didn't have all of them at the same time, but I did have several at once. I was wild and stupid. Only two of my piercings were done professionally. My nostril and finger. The rest I did myself. I was very lucky I didn't hit anything or get an infection. My blowout took a couple months to heal and I had to throw out my pillowcase. Now, I only have my lobes pierced with normal earrings. The only piercings you can tell I've had are the vertical labret from the dent under the lip which you can't see until I pull my lip back, and the other 5 holes in each ear. I just discovered recently those other 5 holes never actually healed. I thought they were dents. I keep having to clean them by getting tweezers and pulling stuff out. Well, I got curious and stuck an earring in them. Earring went straight through each one. Since I'm tired of cleaning them and now know they're still open, I want to see a dermatologist or someone and see if I can get them permanently closed. Don't be stupid like me.

I did look at those ones that were one gem at the top of the finger. What was it called now? Where they made a pocket under the skin and put the anchor in. While I did liked them, I didn't want to be hitting it all the time and get it infected or whatnot so I went with the bar. Only lasted a week though because of the too short straight bar, and because it was on the finger.

Remember to ALWAYS get piercings made by a REAL piercer! Piercing guns are impossible to clean, so you're sharing bacteria with everyone before you. It's also a lot harder on your skin, because it's done with a blunt end instead of a real needle. I had great results with acupuncture against "thought swarm" (I have no idea what it's called in English) combined with therapy. My dear ex-boyfriend/best friend currently has 40 piercings, and a couple of years ago he had his tongue split.

I think it’s so cool that your channels symbol is a butterfly cause they represent rebirth and transformation kinda like what you do for people your job being a cosmetic surgeon

Elaine Davidson lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, and often you can find her on the Royal Mile. I bumped into her & we had a 2 hour conversation in the rain - such an insightful person with a pure heart & just insanely beautiful inside and out.

My cousin had a huge number of facial piercings and had to remove them because something in the metal began to eat away at his nose. He almost lost his nose and wound up going through major reconstructive surgery because of it.

[@TheDearestOfThings]

It 100% was fake jewelry.

Oh and as someone who loves my cartilage piercings, I will admit they all still cause me grief, even the helix piercing I’ve had since I was 16. My tragus piercings are currently driving me nuts and I’ve had them for 2 years! But I’m incredibly stubborn- they ain’t coming out!

[@theilluminati682]

OMG I HAVE A FEAR OF RIPPING MY EARLOBES OFF WHEN JUST SLIGHTLY TUGGING AT THEM. THAT FIRST CLIP WAS HORRIBLE. 😭

[@jessicahawkins6130]

When I first got braces put on it caused my saliva glands to overreact. It was odd. Lol! The ear lobes being used for earplugs is a ‘green’ way to be! Less pollution.

[@Galactic_rats]

You should check out someone called the black alien project he’s had some of his fingers removed by body modifiers. I’m a body piercer and body modification enthusiast and that even goes too far for me.

[@theresasch3726]

wanted to suggest this topic as well!

[@fishlady7930]

Haven't seen that in awhile, have they finally removed some fingers or a limb yet or they still on that phase.

[@claypigeon4932]

My favourite question is how people with cheek gauges eat and drink, and it's really quite simple actually! There are solid plugs that people put in just like with ear gauges!! They don't always have the open hoops in :)

[@properantagonist]

I think it's really important to mention that the earlobe skin can actually thicken if you stretch properly! Human body is truly amazing at healing itself and it can build up enough skin if stretched slowly that the lobe remains thick even at large sizes. Unfortunately, many people are very impatient and want results right away, that's why you see thin lobes so often. But people have been stretching different piercings for centuries in different tribal communities, it's definitely possible to be done safely. I agree that we (modded people) are typically really nice! We might look scary sometimes, but most of us are kind people. We're often very accepting, probably because we aren't very accepted by the society, so we try to be good to others.

Always loving your take Dr Youn!!!✨💖✨

[@itstia552]

Dr Youn, I really believe we should never judge each other no matter what our appearance or anything els really… and I thought it was very sweet of you to mention this in your video too! Wow 😮 some heavily modified people we sore there Doc… but I have to say that I thought the woman who put the fork thing through her tongue 👅 really was beautiful in a way… Love Tia xxx

As someone who is a dental genetic nightmare and can't even look at soda without developing a cavity, the dude with holes in his checks both frightens me and fascinates me

[@stephaniesinternetlife]

My concern is how will some of these body modifications affect them in the future?

[@sunyanik3577]

I have the same question: would these body modifications affect them adversely in their old ages when their bodies begin to get weaker, wrinklier and saggier? 🫣🤔

[@christopherkelly577]

​@@sunyanik3577most certainly. Mutilating/modifying your skin etc is risky at the best of times. Deliberately sticking metal into places never meant to have things inserted, stretching your ear lobes making holes in your cheeks etc. Just look daft 😂

Can't wait to watch

Hope you have a wonderful day doc ,and your family

[@ghostratsarah]

To me, body modification has little difference from many other accepted forms of artistry. You're just sculpting yourself, rather than clay, marble, or paint.

[@MEMEMEMEMELOL]

My exp with most people who get body mods are is they have had trama like most. But they deal with it in a different way. Alot of them are just very nice and normal humble people who are like anyone else.

[@MotherofDragons937]

The stretched earlobes are thick or thin depending on how fast the person stretched them. To keep the earlobe thick, you need to go slowly and it helps to go down a size for a while and then back up to allow new tissue to form.

[@countesscrows]

that’s how i did it and it took me like 3 years to get to 30 mm. Massaging them with oil/lotion really helps too. another thing people dont realize is that if you stretch properly, the skin shrinks back a lot if you use smaller jewerly. Mine shrunk back to about 16mm and some friends went from 10-12mm to pretty much a regular piercing.

[@MotherofDragons937]

@@countesscrows that’s the best way to do it. I’m only at 1/2 inch which I believe would be about 12mm. I stretched using tapers slowly getting bigger. I started in my 20’s and I’m 44 now. My goal would be double what I am now but I’m so lazy about it!

[@countesscrows]

hangers on the heavier side are wonderful for passive stretching and you can wear them with tunnels to avoid stressing your ears too much

[@TheDearestOfThings]

I went to two inches then back down to a 0g several times. My lobes are now 2 inches again and thiicccccc ;D Been playing that game since I was 14

[@torib796]

When I was 18 I made the foolhardy decision to pierce the cartilege on both ears on the same day (conch piercing on one side, rook and tragus on the other). Let me tell you, the healing process was no walk in the park, particularly for my conch, which got infected two times over the year it took them all to heal. I was meticulous with cleaning, but sometimes that doesn't matter. I still love the piercings nearly 10 years later, no regrets.

[@vicp99]

It’s their bodies I guess. But ngl I turn away. I hope they are well informed about the problems they can face.

[@cherylcollins1833]

I’m with Dr Youn, tattoos are my favorite form of body modification. 👍👍

I really appreciate that you weren't judgemental towards the modified people. Great video!

[@Medeinathetrashcan334]

as someone who car cartilage(i hope thats how u spell that) piercings, what doc said is correct, them healing isnt pretty. however if u disinfect it often and have your healing piercing for like 3 months u shouldnt have problems with it. i have had his piercing for like 3 years now and i still disinfect it regulary as everyone does with body piercings. just make sure hat u get it done with NEEDLE and not a gun like i did.

[@meowkitty2956]

As someone that stretchs their ears and was an apprentice piercer I can tell you if the skin around the ear gets thinner every time you go up a size it just means they're stretching their ears way too quickly which is the case for a lot of people, your supposed to wait for the ear to recover after stretching by going up 1 size and wait for the ear to slowly losen up around the plug to the point it slides out easily before going up a size so every time you go bigger the thickness of the ear stays the same and is healthy and not prone to ripping, lets not spread misinformation please

[@aaronjames3228]

I dunno, people are in the comments are saying different. Lol I'm gonna go with what the actual doctor says

[@meowkitty2956]

@aaronjames3228 you know doctors aren't always right especially on things that isnt their area and only see the aftermath and make opinion and state it as fact i.e people who streach their ears too quickly and f up their ears coming to see them to get them fixed and there is alot of people that do that especially with normal piercings people dont go through the right process or go to professional and evidently mess up their bodies, speak to any professional body piercer and they will say the samething as they also have to learn the anatomy and how the placements of piercings effect the body, the time it needs to heal, even down to materials so do not completely write them off and the argument that people in the comments say differently doesn't mean its fact

[@countesscrows]

what they say is completely true and best practice. Lobe thinning, blowouts and scarring only happen when you size up too fast. Ideally, you should stretch _at most_ about 10 mm a year and massage them with oils or lotions frequently (just like pregnant people do to avoid stretch marks). Sadly, a lot of health professionals are not familiar with these practices and only see bad cases. An excellent example of a doctor not knowing proper techniques is Dr. pimple popper trying to remove a cheek dermal piercing and causing way more trauma than an experienced piercer would have :/

[@simonalyneenderz3247]

I would expect that as the type of doctor that fixes body modifications gone wrong, you would find these videos hard to watch, because you would be worrying about the safety of these people.

[@dorelle]

Erik has the best collagen ever. Nope, they aren't gauges. Gauges are for measuring. Those are called stretched lobes with tunnels.

[@d.grouard6737]

Just wondering Dr. Youn, have you any thoughts on the gentleman known as the Black Alien Project? He has had most of his body modified and I have read that he is considering limb amputations to take his modifications to the next level. Also, do reputable surgeons/plastic surgeons perform these modifications or are they done by non professionals? I just discovered your channel and I am quite fascinated by your subjects. I am also most impressed at your kindness and compassion when you talk about the people profiled in your videos. Thank you so much for your insight.
