Can I get my nipples pierced after breast augmentation?

You should have no problem having your nipples pierced after implants.  If the piercing causes an implant infection or a deflation, it is way too deep.  Superficial infections from piercings can be treated.

Thank you for your question! At this point you may return back to living your life normally, this includes getting your nipples pierced. Just as you took the time to research your surgeon, I would take the time to research your piercing technologist. You want to make sure they are practicing a sterile environment. Best of luck!

There is no problem at all getting your nipples pierced after having had breast augmentation surgery. Just make sure it is done professionally.  If there is any hint of an infection after having it done see your doctor immediately. Good luck.Thomas Taylor, MD, FACSPasadena, CA

I advise my patients that they can get their nipples pierced as early as six weeks after surgery. At this point, a great deal of their healing has already occurred. The odds of developing a breast implant infection from nipple piercing are very low. 

Thank you for your question.  You should be fine moving forward with getting your nipples pierced as long as you understand the possibility of there being complications.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
