Question
Dear Dr. O'Brien

I wish to have my lip piercied and stretch my ears.
Are there any consequences in terms of balance?

I already have my eyebrow piercied and upper part of my right ear

Answer
Hello Squichy,

  It is not recommended to pierce these areas.  But many people do, if you experience physical problems after the areas are pierced then you may want to remove jewelery and not pierce the area again.  Same for stretching the ears.

Hope all goes well,
Dr. Brendon O'Brien D.C.
