Piercings to take off during a bbl surgery?

Question

Since I have piercing for a Brazilian butt lift will I have to take off my nipple rings since the are fairly new.. And also my belly button ring?

Germán Newall, MD · Answer

Yes, I require all my patients to remove their piercings before any surgical procedure. Most surgeons do. The surgery will only last a few hours so your holes should not close up that quickly.

Daniel Shapiro, MD · Answer

Piercings are required to be removed due to the use of cautery devices. These are not typically used in BBL procedures but it is still best to remove piercings for hygienic reasons. Ask your plastic surgeon before the procedure.

Melinda Lirag Lacerna-Kimbrell, MD, FACS · Answer

For any type of surgery if your surgeon is using an electrosurgical unit to stop bleeding throughout the procedure any jewelry or body piercings are not permitted to be worn. Although during this specific procedure I do not use a cautery device, I instruct the patients to not wear jewelry and remove piercings for cleanliness and to avoid infection. Check with your surgeons office to see what their office policies are regarding this.Thank you for your question!Melinda Lacerna, MD, FACS

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Piercings are an issue specifially if they are metal and the surgeon is using cautery devices. With BBL cautery is never used in my office, and therefore is not a problem.
