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.

	Better to check with your plastic surgeon and with your mom.                  

	All the best.

Robert L. Kraft, MD, FACS · Answer

You should always check with your plastic surgeon and get cleared to do so although I agree with Dr, Zubowicz.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Nipple piercing is probably ok at three months provided that you have healed without any complications. You may want to check with your surgeon to be sure.

Jeffrey Zwiren, MD · Answer

There should be no problem repiercing your nipples at this point. You should be well healed from your breast lift at this point.

Robert E. Zaworski, MD (retired) · Answer

It should be fine to have your nipples pierced 3 months after your breast surgery.  Please confirm this with your Plastic Surgeon first!
