Can you keep your nipple rings in if your getting breast implants? If not can the doctor put them back in after surgery?

With any surgery, it is always a good idea to remove body piercings if possible.  The reason for this is that an electric cautery is used during surgery and the metal in the piercing might cause a burn to the surrounding skin.  When I do the Trans-Umbilical Breast Augmentation (TUBA), a technique for inserting saline implants through a small incision in the belly button, we don't even use a cautery so body piercings can be left in place.  If piercings are removed, they can always be replaced following surgery.

Thank you for your question.  The nipple rings need to be removed before surgery and can be placed back in after surgery.  Hope this helps!

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Nipple piercings need to be removed in order to prevent complications associated with the electrocautery unit used during surgery.  Either they can be replaced immediately after the procedure or a temporary plastic spacer can be used.  Hope this helps.
