Can a nipple ring be left in during liposuction?

May 20, 2014
Asked By:Swhiteman

I have one nipple pierced and is fairly new. If it is taken out, it will close up. Is there any way I can leave it in? My breasts are not being worked on in surgery, just liposuction. I had a rhinoplasty last Sept and my doc let me just tape over the ear piercings I couldn't remove at the time. My nipple barbell is solid gold.
