Can I get my nipple pierced after breast lift? (Photo)

Question

So i know a lot of people have asked this question however, my nipples I recently learned are relatively flat and small. I went to one piercer who said he didn’t want to do it because of my breast lift and he wasn’t sure if it was safe or not because of how small and flat my nipples are even when stimulated. I never ever liked the results of my breast lift and I just wanted to get my nipples pierced in hopes of maybe liking them more.

Dear ekay123,
if you are fully healed from your surgery, then there is no contraindication for piercing. But every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol, which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Once you are fully healed from your breast lift their is no reason you cannot proceed to having your nipples pierced. If their is any particular problem check in with your surgeon. Good luck.

Your nipples should be essentially the same now as they were before surgery.  If you were a candidate for a nipple piercing before surgery then you should still be a candidate for a nipple piercing.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

If you do not have implants and your surgery was over 6 months, then you probably will be fine to pierce your nipples. You may lose sensation with the piercing. If you have implants, please don't pierce because of the increase of bacteria inside the nipple from the piercing.
