When is it okay to pluck nipple hairs after a breast augmentation?

yas247247Sep 16, 2015
Hello. I had a breast augmentation 3 weeks ago and have a few strands of nipple hair which is starting to grow out again. I usually pluck them every two weeks. I was wondering when it would be safe to pluck them out again? I don't want to risk infection or any complications Thank you
