I have a dermal piercing on my face and I want a BA -- will it affect my surgery? (Photo)

Thank you for your question.  Surgical protocol is that jewelry is removed prior to surgery due to risk of infection or complications from electro cautery devices.  My advice is to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your particular circumstances.  Best of luck.

Every surgery center and every surgeon has their own protocol.I have not had any issues with dermal piercings, specially given that they are far from the site of surgery.  At the center where I perform my surgeries, we use a special pad that the patient lays on which allows us a bit more freedom with operating with piercings.Hope that helps.
