I am 22 on a weight loss journey with average size breast still but I know once I lose weight they’ll sag more and get smaller but I have nipple piercings. Will I be able to keep them once I decide to get my implants and lift? And should you wait to lose weight before getting this type of surgery?

Answer: Breast Lift and Piercing Hi. Thank you for your question. It is necessary to remove the piercing during the surgery. In fact you have to take off all your metal objects before entering the OR. You can put the piercings back in after the surgery. Furthermore, it’s recommedable to finish weight loss and to be stable with your weight for 4-6 months before the surgery. Best Dr Marco Carmona MD

Answer: Can you get a breast lift with implants with nipple piercings? Yes, best to achieve your long-term stable weight prior to proceeding with breast lifting survey. You will likely find that removal of the piercings will be necessary during the time of surgery; replacement will be possible afterwards. In my practice, I often will use sterile temporary spacers during surgery and replace these with the patient's piercings postoperatively. My best advice: when the time is right, select your plastic surgeon carefully. Communicate your goals carefully as well. Best wishes as you work towards your goals and for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.
