After being pierced (or after subsequent injury or irritation), a lip will swell, sometimes dramatically. Because of this, the jewelry worn initially (or during swelling) must be long enough to accommodate this swelling. If such accommodation is not made, the jewelry can sink into the soft flesh of the lip and create an embedded labret.
