Hello, I have a breast reduction surgery scheduled and a recently done helix piercing on my ear. Would it be safe to use a plastic retainer in that piercing to keep it from closing during surgery?

Answer: Plastic piercing Yes, it is safe to use a plastic retainer during your surgery. I suggest switching several days before so that the piercing site is not irritated on the day of surgery.
