How can dermal anchor be rejection?

Anonymous

Updated: 8/19/2019

Dermals can reject pretty easily. If you don't clean them, if a piece of debris gets inside the pocket, if you bump or push it a bit out of place, if they're in a high friction area(hips, hands, shoulders, even arms), and sometimes seemingly for no reason. They're beautiful but they take more work than people think. Sternums can be the easiest to take care of but napes and anti-eyebrows aren't bad either.

Well you cant change a dermal anchor, hence the phrase "dermal anchor".

Changing the top too soon can cause bleeding and possible infection of the anchor. Best to wait at least two weeks (14 days) before attempting to change the top yourself, if you run into trouble go back and see your body modest for assistance.

How do you change a dermal anchor piercing?

A dermal anchor is not a piercing, but in fact a body modification. Now as for changing the top portion of the dermal anchor, the top must be unscrewed and the new top screwed into the anchor shaft.

What is a dermal anchor?

A dermal anchor is a small piece of jewelry designed to be inserted into the body and is held or "anchored" in place by the surface tissue "dermal" around it. These implants need to be done by an experienced professional who can legally do them. Dermal anchoring is illegal in some US states. Not every piercer can do dermal anchoring because it's a technical implant that requires experience, skill and knowledge of human anatomy. There are also locations on the body where dermal anchors will not work due to tissue type, body movement and clothing requirements, so do some research beforehand. Dermal anchors are subject to tearing, snagging, infection and rejection and cannot be removed like regular jewelry. They are inserted into the body, so removal must be done by a licensed doctor. Removal generally results in lifelong scarring. If you ever need to go for a CAT or MRI scan, all jewelry will need to be removed, including the dermal anchors.(Just as an FYI to clarify the above info, although most doctors will recommend removing a dermal anchor before a CAT or MRI scan, it is not necessary. They are not surgical steel like most piercings, but actually titanium, and do not interfere with the MRI process. They also do not need to be removed by a doctor. Any professional piercer that can put them in can take them out, it is actually a very simple process.)

So do your research and seek out a truly experienced professional who really knows what they are doing.
