Should I Remove Hair Extentions Before my Tummy Tuck?

If hair extensions are placed using only adhesive it's fine  to leave them in.  However, if the metal microbead technique is used,  they should be removed. Metal can act as arc to the electrocautery used during surgery. Everywhere there is metal attached to the body, there is a chance of a spark or a burn. While it's not sure to happen, there's no guarantee it won't so it is best to remove them.

Thank you for your question.

The best thing to do is to discuss with your plastic surgeon and see what his/her recommendations are as well as the rules of the surgery center where the procedure will be performed. I don't see a reason to remove them but again, it is best to discuss with your surgeon.

Best Wishes!

There is no reason to remove your hair extensions prior to your tummy tuck surgery.

 

Good luck.
