My hair extensions are attached with aluminum beads - should they be removed before my mommy make over surgery?

Asked By:Witty488357 in Tampa, Florida

I have two rows of hair extensions that are attached to my hair with aluminum "beads" and are lined with silicone. My plastic surgeon' office said leaving them in will present a small risk of burn due to the electrocautery, but that it's up to me. Is this something I should definitely address prior to surgery and have them removed (which I hate to do but will do if the risk really is something to worry about)? Thank you!
