Can I wear bracelets and a ring during my rhinoplasty surgery to cover up tattoos?

Question

I'm 21 years old, and I have tattoos on my wrist and one on my finger that my parents don't know about. I usually cover them up with friendship bracelets that are made out of string (there is absolutely no metal in them). And I usually wear a ring on my finger to cover up the finger tattoo. I am getting rhinoplasty surgery next month, and I don't want my parents to see my tattoos at all, as they will be at the surgery with me. Is there anyway I can keep the friendship bracelets and the ring on?

What type of jewelry / cover-upgarments would be up to the facility where you are having your surgery. Best to call or even go to the facility in advance to check their policy.Good luck in your quest!Best, Dr. K

Thank you for your question.
You should talk to your surgeon who can help you with your concerns. My protocol is to either not have jewelry on the day of the procedure, or have it removed in the pre operative area. All The Best !
