Will I need to remove my tongue piercing for a breast implant surgery? Could I put a plastic one in?

Closing time for people on this piercing is always different. It could happen almost immediately and could never close up. I have never taken my tongue piercing out and don't want to figure out how long it takes, I could not imagine having to pierce this thing again, once was enough. With the procedure being at least an hour long, I really don't want to risk having to take it out(though boobies are more important then a tongue ring.) So I'm just curious if I could leave it in and everything be okay?
