Can I get my nipple pierced after Breast Augmentation? Are there any risks? How long would I have to wait to do it?

Asked By:Ch3ska in South Carolina, SC

I had my BA 3 weeks ago (silicone, subglandular, areola insicion) and I would like to get my nipple pierced (not now, maybe in a few months). I have lost the sensitivity of my right nipple and I would like to know if I can take that as an advantage to prevent the pain. Please let me know if I may do it, if there are any risks and how long would I have to wait to do it. Thanks!
