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.

Answer: Removal of nipple rings preoperative Nipple rings are foreign objects and can harbor bacteria. Any bacteria present in the operative field can lead to an infection. If the implant pocket becomes infected it would be necessary to remove the implant for a prolonged period of time before it can be replaced. In order to increase the safety of the procedure and help ensure an uncomplicated recovery it would be best to the remove nipple rings before your procedure. Good luck.
