Nipple piercings before a boob reduction?

shakiishd
I have recently gotten my nipples pierced, and i would like to get a breast reduction in 3-5years time. i know the piercing would have to be taken out during the procedure but what about after surgery can they be put back in? nipple piercings close really quick even if fully healed and i’ve looked online and everywhere says something different. i would just like to know if i’ll still have my piercings by the end of it or will i have to get them repierced?
