How soon after BA can I get my nose pierced? I'm 3 months post op.

Question

Hello, I was hoping to get a nose piercing. It has been 3 months since my BA. Would this be sufficient time to start getting things done that aren't around the breasts for example a nose piercing?

Clayton Crantford, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. A nasal piercing will have no effect on your breast augmentation. Go for it!

Stephen T. Greenberg, MD, FACS · Answer

Hi and congrats on your recent procedure. Being you are 3 months post-op, I do not foresee an issue with getting your nose pierced. Please follow up with your surgeon, being that all Doctors have different protocols and preferences regarding post op care and instructions.

I advise my patients to wait 6 weeks before doing additional tattoos and piercings. Always a good idea to check with your surgeon's protocol.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Having your nose pierced, especially 3 months post-op, should have no affect on your breast augmentation. Good luck!

Peter Hyans, MD · Answer

I appreciate your concern.  That should not be an issue.  The risk of infection should be extremely low.  Enjoy the piercing.

Hi and thank you for your question.I see no reason why you can not get your nose pierced at this point. All surgeons are different, so you may want to check with yours. Best wishes.

Dear kittykat9999,nose piercing should have no negative effect on your breasts. But every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Hello and thank you for your question. I don't see any reason related to your breast augmentation,  why you could not proceed with your piercing, if you wish to. (has your surgeon mentioned that you should not?).All the best.

Julio C. Pena Encarnacion, MD · Answer

You could have gone for it just 3-4 weeks after you BA. So yeah, you can get your piercing already without any fear of having any effect on you due to the BA procedure.
