Tragus Earring during surgery?

August 11, 2016
Asked By:CharlsieNoelle in Parkville, MD

So, I got my tragus pierced about 4 months ago and had a horrible healing process with it. I go to have surgery soon for a deviated septum and swollen inferior turbinates. If I change my sterling silver tragus earring into a plastic one then put a band-aid on it during the surgery, will that be okay? I really don't want to take it about due to the healing process and I love the way it looks.
