Remove body piercings (belly/nipple) before rhinoplasty?

MNis
Hello, I have a rhinoplasty scheduled in a few days and I was reading through the forms I was given and noticed it said I have to remove all of my piercings before the surgery. I don't have a problem removing my cartilage piercings but i'm nervous about removing my belly and nipple piercing because they may close. I read online that if it isn't near the operation area that it shouldn't be a problem.. Thanks.
