I Had a Breast Lift 3 Months Ago. When Can I Pierce my Nipples?

Question

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Once the incisions are healed, it would be OK to pierce the nipples.  Ask your plastic surgeon whether he would have a preferred method to maximize nipple perfusion. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

Dana Khuthaila, MD, FRCSC, FACS · Answer

Thank you for the question. Nipple piercing should be fine at 3 months post breast surgery as long as you are completely healed with no complications. 

	Best of luck..

Matthew Schulman, MD · Answer

You should be fine to pierce your nipples at this point, but you should verify with your plastic surgeon first.

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

Check with your surgeon but I see no problem with piercing the nipples three months after mastopexy although I can't imagine why you would want to do the first place.
