Can I leave my nipple rings during surgery if I use plastic rings instead of surgical steel ones?

I am going for plastic surgery (Full lipo, Tummy Tuck and BBL) I have my nipples pierced and I wanted to know if I can keep the rings in during surgery if I use the bioflex (plastic) rings instead of the surgical steel ones? I'm afraid to remove them during surgery because I'm scared that they'll close.
