Can you pluck nipple hair before a breast augmentation?

Although it may be okay to pluck hair before your surgery, it would be best to ask your surgeon. This is because each surgeon has their own pre-op instructions.

Thank you for your question. There is no need to pluck your hair prior to surgery. If you are doing it because you would prefer to do it, I would recommend at least 3-4 days prior to surgery. Good luck on your upcoming surgery!

I would recommend doing this at least 2-3 days before to minimize potential skin trauma prior to the surgery.

It's not necessary to pluck nipple hair prior to breast augmentation as it won't interfere with the surgery. The risk would be very minimal of an infection developing if you did decide to pluck the hair.

It is possible to get a small follicle infection if you pluck the hairs. Its probably safe to do this about a week or more prior to surgery.
