Can I keep micro or nano ring hair extensions in during rhinoplasty?

Rhino119Jul 14, 2019
I am about to get some hair extensions fitted however have seen some comments online about the metal part of the nano / micro ring extensions interfering during surgery and causing burns ? Is someone please able to confirm if it would be advisable to remove the hair extensions before surgery or if it is safe to keep them in. Many thanks
