Nipple piercing during surgery?

July 13, 2016
Asked By:kaiteleanor in North Carolina, NC

I am getting a silicone breast implant with a Inframammary incision. I currently have my nipples pierced. Do you think I will have to take the piercings out permanently? And if so, about how long after could I get them repierced?
