Can my surgeon remove a dermal anchor piercing while doing breast implant surgery?

March 20, 2016
Asked By:Jane2883

My microdermal implant is on the side of my face below my eye and it's started to reject and the bar under the skin has peaked through. I'm scared to have it removed by a piercer. So I'm wondering if while im under he can take it out? I'm nervouse to ask when I see him next because I feel kinda silly asking this question with out knowing if this is even appropriate to ask. Do you think he would be ok with doing this?
