I am 5'10" and currently weigh 220lbs. I have wanted to get implants since I was probably 13 years old :-/ I've finally decided that 2013 is the year to do it. I have a few questions: 1-I have nipple rings (bars now-not the rings in pic). Will they need to be removed and healed before getting implants? I'd prefer to keep them, but I would rather have implants! 2-I am in the process of losing weight (hope to lose at least 60lbs). Should I lose the weight before surgery?
Answer: Implants
The nipple rings will need to be removed for surgery, but can be replaced by the surgeon immediately after surgery while you are still under anesthesia. If you are sure you are going to lose weight, then waiting will help you choose the best implant size.

CONTACT NOW Answer: I Have Nipples Rings, Can I Get Implants and Keep Them? Should I Lose Weight Before or After Surgery? Thank you for your question. You can definitely still have breast augmentation surgery if your nipples have been pierced. Your piercings can temporarily be replaced with plastic spacers before the surgery. This can be perform at your local piercing parlor. When considering breast augmentation make sure you find a board certified plastic surgeon who will take the time to answer all of your questions and explain all of your options, so that you can decide if breast augmentation is right for you.

Answer: Nipple Rings, Weight Loss and Breast Surgery Thank you for your question.Your nipple rings will need to be removed before surgery but can be replaced immediately afterwards. Since most body piercings are made of metal, the concern is that the body rings can conduct a current from the electrocautery device (which prevents bleeding) and cause burns. The risk no longer exists once your surgery is finished and, therefore, your piercings can be replaced immediately afterwards. As far as weight loss is concerned, weight loss can cause breast changes in both size and shape. While some of these changes can be minor, others can be severe and as a result, I would wait until you are closer to your goal weight (within 10-20 lbs) and see how your breasts respond to the weight loss before undergoing breast surgery. It is possible that depending upon breast volume, whether or not there is excess skin, and/or your skin quality that you may require a breast lift as well.Remember to consult with only board-certified plastic surgeons who are well-experienced in breast procedures and best of luck!

Answer: Weight Loss Prior to Surgery
When the weight loss is significant as in your case, the weight loss should occur prior to the surgery. The breasts will shrink with the weight loss and this may affect your implant choice. The nipple piercings can be removed prior to surgery.

Answer: Nipple rings and breast augmentation
The nipple rings do not need to be permanently removed to have breast augmentation, but should be replaced with a plastic spacer during the procedure. If you are planning on losing more than 20lbs, I would recommend losing that weight before you have the procedure.

Answer: Nipple rings and implants
Pierced nipples and nipple rings should not be problem to stop you from getting breast implants. You will probably be asked to remove them during the procedure itself but you should be able to put them back on right after the surgery.
As for weight loss. It is always recommended to be at stable weight before having a procedure in order to optimize results. However, you have to be realistic. Some people have been trying to lose weight for years unsuccessfully. Lose as much as you can but, If you are plateaued at your weight, sometimes a procedure is what you need as a jumpstart. Once you are happy with your appearance and have had that boost of confidence then you may end up losing more weight.
