I know that you have to remove a steel nipple piercing for breast implant procudruesprocedures, but could the piercing remain in if the stud is not metal? If it was replaced with plastic to help hold the piercing site still open?

Answer: Nipple piercing Thank you very much for this very relevant question. Nipple piercings have to be removed as a safety measure to avoid burning of the skin. We use instruments that work with electricity and can potentially conduct electricity through the stud. If you have a replacement made of plastic there is no reason to remove it. Only exception might be concerns about hygiene, but that can be addressed. Have a wonderful rest of the day and greetings from the beautiful island of Jamaica

Answer: Nipple piercing while getting a breast augmentation A plastic stud will not interfere with the electrical cautery during surgery and can be left. However, you will want to ensure that it will not increase the probability of infection.
