Can you put your nipple rings back in after breast augmentation surgery?

Hello, good question. Typically I will have patients remove the rings pre-op and you can replace them with plastic rings if they are concerned about the hole closing. You can put the rings back in right after surgery

422905.   My personal policy with regard to nipple rings is remove them right before surgery because there can affect on the electrocautery device used during the operation because they are metal. Sometimes I will put in plastic spacers during the operation if needed. Right after the surgery, in the recovery room, my nurse then reinserts the nipple rings. Discuss your concerns with your board-certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck.
