Is it safe to have surgery if you have hair extensions?

Regarding hair extensions, if only adhesive is used it's fine, but metal is not (microbeads). Metal can act as arc to the cautery used during surgery. Everywhere there's metal attached to the body, there is a chance of a spark or burn.While it's not sure to happen, there's no guarantee it won't so it is best that you remove them.

Yes.  You should be able to keep your extensions in during surgery if you let your surgeon know.  Best of luck. 

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
No problem at all with wearing hair extensions during surgery.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

It shoudl not be a problem to have hair extensions and have surgery . Best of luck with yoru decision to move forward.

You can safely keep your hair extensions during surgery . If they are long and heavy , make sure you put them in a pony tail  or wrap around your head ,  before you go in the OR , for easier management during your surgery process.Best wishes
