How soon can I get a Nose Piercing after Breast Augmentation?

The risk that a nose piercing could cause a problem with your breasts is very minimal.  It would be best to discuss this with your surgeon who can best advise you in your situation.  In my practice, I would ask a patient to wait 3 months, just to be safe.

I appreciate your question.

I would recommend discussing with your surgeon.  I would tell my patient to wait 6 months until the breasts are healed.  

The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.

Best of luck!

While I know of no particular data about peircings and breast augmentation caution suggests that piercing a bacteria covered area that could become infected, like the nose, should not be done until the capsule of the implant is well formed.  From the orthopedic literature we know that ortho surgeons ask their patients, for example, to wait 6 months before getting their teeth cleaned.I hope that is helpful for you.
