Will I be able to keep my micro-bead hair extensions in during my breast augmentation surgery?

Thank you for you question. I do not see any reason why you will need to remove the extensions prior to surgery. I recommend discussing directly with your Board Certified Surgeon. Good luck with surgery!

You should be completely fine to leave those in your hair for your breast augmentation. The main concern with piercings or other objects would be the cautery used to stop bleeding may conduct the energy causing a burn. What you are describing shouldn’t be affected. Best of luckJosh Olson MD

Yes you will be able to keep all of the extensions in. There is some movement of the head and all of the extensions would need to be able to fit into a scrub hat. But otherwise it should be fine. Best of luck with your surgery.

Thank you for your awesome question! Your concerns are important to discuss directly with your board certified plastic surgeon.  He or she will appreciate the open communication and will want to help you. I hope this is helpful and wish you all the very best.  Sincerely, Brian S. Coan, MD, FACS

Thank you for your question. I do not see any reason why they can not be kept. Please talk to your PS for clarification.

Dear Cutielo,
Having surgery on the body will not effect your hair extensions at all.  So, no worries.
You will love getting breast implants if you get the right size and select a good board certified plastic surgeon.

Dr Wilson

Hello and thank you for your excellent question. Personally, I do not see any reason why you would need to remove your extensions. However, you will need to check with your surgeon to be sure. Good luck!

Any metal can conduct the electricity used with the cautery unit.  If a cautery machine is anticipated, you should not have any "extra" metal or it can cause a burn..
