Breast augmentation and nipple piercing?

July 4, 2017
Asked By:seaportma in Boston, MA

I have one of my nipples pierced and am going in for breast augmentation next month. The first PS stated it should come out permanently due to infection risk/higher risk of CC. The second PS said it comes out for surgery but can go back in immediately after. I would like other opinions on this. I love my piercing but I definitely won't keep it if it's been proven that capsular contracture risk is higher. Thanks!
