The duration required for complete recovery following a supraorbital puncture varies considerably based on individual physiology and adherence to aftercare protocols. Several factors, including immune system strength, lifestyle habits such as smoking and alcohol consumption, and the piercing’s precise location, influence the healing process.
Proper healing is essential to prevent complications such as infection, migration, or rejection of the jewelry. A healthy lifestyle, diligent cleaning, and avoiding trauma to the area contribute significantly to minimizing the healing period and ensuring a successful outcome. Historical and cultural perspectives on body modification emphasize the importance of patience and responsible care during this period.
