I have a rhinoplasty scheduled for six days time, just wondering if it would be best to remove my nose piercing now or can it be left until closer to the date?

Answer: How soon before rhinoplasty to remove nose ring? In my opinion, a nose ring could be removed in the morning of the day the rhinoplasty was to be performed. Your particular surgeon may feel differently, so I would recommend checking with your surgeon's office.

Answer: When should I remove a nose ring leading up to surgery? I see that you have had several answers that suggest removing the ring just before surgery is performed. I will differ from this recommendation and say that in my practice I am more concerned about minimizing the chance for infection and suggest removing the ring as soon as possible. This is true for other body piercings as well.Good luck to you!Frank Rieger M.D. Tampa Plastic Surgeon
