So I'm planning on getting my second belly piercing but my boob surgery is in about 4 weeks should I wait after my surgery ? If so how long after my surgery must I wait ?
Answer: Belly button piercing I would suggest having your surgeon pierce your belly button after he finishes the breast augmentation part of your procedure. You will be asleep and feel no pain. I do this all the time for patients who want piercings: tongue, belly button, nipple, etc. This is a very simple thing for a good surgeon.

Answer: Body Piercings and Breast Augmentation Thank you for your question.All body piercings (ears, belly button, etc...) will need to be removed before your breast augmentation procedure, so I would advise you to wait until after surgery to have your belly button piercing done. As far as when it will be appropriate to have this piercing done, I would recommend waiting a minimum of 4 weeks but I would strongly urge you to discuss this with your operating surgeon. The concern with new piercings after surgery is the risk for infection. Please discuss your wish for a second belly button piercing with your operating surgeon in advance of your surgery as he/she is most qualified to provide you with the best recommendation. I wish you all the best on your upcoming surgery!

Answer: Breast augmentation and bellybutton piercing The issue here is infection. Breast augmentation should not be undertaken if you have any infected area on your body. You can get your piercing anytime before your augmentation, although if it gets infected, you will have to put off your surgery. If you are going to do the piercing after surgery, think in terms of 3 to 6 weeks just in case an infection arises around the piercing.

Answer: Breast Pain It is best to wait to get the piercing until you are healed from your surgery. Any infection or open wound will likely delay your surgery. Also, you will need to remove the belly button ring for your surgery. Be sure to discuss this with your surgeon as well. Best of luck!
