Do I need to take off my nipple piercings for a BBL?

For the manner in which I perform tumescent liposuction, the nipple ring could be left in place.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Hello, thanks for your question and provided information as well... Yes, you cannot have any earrings on your body before surgery. 

Thank you for your question.
This is dependent upon whether or not electrocautery will be used during the case. Typically, surgery centers request that all jewelry and piercings are removed as a precaution. However, you may be able to replace them with the plastic bars. 

It is probably a good idea to take out your piercings because if a cautery is used, it might cause a burn.  Best of luck.

They only need to come out or replaced with plastic ones if a bovie is going to be used during the case. I do not use a bovie in a BBL. A tegaderm could be placed over you nipples to maintain a sterile field.
