Vaginal piercing and day of surgery - What should I do?

Hello,A plastic or silicone spacer is usually acceptable. Your Plastic Surgeon will likely advise you to remove all metal piercings prior to surgery for your safety. Let them know of your concerns.All the best

If you cannot remove piercings for surgery, I would place a plastic retainer.  You may want to check with the hospital prior to surgery to get their policy.Best,

No worries! Plastic retainer would be okay. Many plastic surgeons feel comfortable removing and replacing for you while you are asleep in the OR. Best of luck!

It is always advisable to remove all metal piercings prior to performing surgery, based on the chances of sustaining a burn because of the use of electrocautery.  A plastic spacer certainly would be reasonable, although most piercings will not close up over the duration of the surgical procedure. Best wishes.

If you can exchange it for plastic that should be fine.......................................................................................
