Nipple piercings and breast augmentation - how soon after can I get my nipples re-pierced?

February 11, 2022
Asked By:astralnaut

I'm going into surgery March 10th and my surgeon said I will have to take my nipple piercings out for roughly 3 weeks total. I'm nervous that my piercings will close. How long should I wait to get my nipples re-pierced if they close? How much risk do nipple piercings pose to infection of an implant? I've had mine in for 9 months and have not had an Infection but I really don't want to lose my piercings to my breast augmentation.
