I've read that you can't wear any jewelry during surgery because of heat conduction. I have 6 piercings on my ears and one on my navel. All of my jewelry is pure gold or surgical steel. Many of them are difficult to remove and I have to go to my piercer to get them put back in, which is inconvenient especially after having a surgery.

Answer: Removal of Piercing Yes, these can be taking out just before surgery and replaced immediately afterwards. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with and who is a board-certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
