I'm getting a breast reduction next week but I just now am seeing that when you get surgery you need to have all piercings removed. I have a cartilage ear piercing that is stuck in my ear and hurts so bad to the touch, it's been growing for like a year. If I asked the surgeon to take it out for me is there any chance he would? Whether that's quick with local anesthesia right before surgery or while I'm under general anesthesia. I would be willing to pay of course.
