Should I remove my cartilage piercing before having a BA? (photo)

Asked By:jessiebov in Dickson, TN

I’ve heard that piercings have been linked to capsular contracture. I’ve had a cartilage piercing for one year. It tends to get irritated (leak clear fluid) when I sleep on that side. Would it be smart to remove the piercing and let it heal over before having a BA? I would like to have a BA in approx. two months. Thank you!
