A lip frenulum piercing is a body piercing through the frenulum of either the upper or lower lip. A piercing through the upper lip frenulum is sometimes called a scrumper, or a smily, because it can be visible when the wearer smiles. Opposingly, the piercing through the lower lip frenulum is sometimes referred to as a frowny.
Such piercings, anatomy permitting, are relatively simple procedures. Healing time is typically six to eight weeks.[1] Rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash three or four times a day helps with the healing process; those with new piercings should also avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods until the piercing site is fully healed.[2]
