Nose Piercing and Surgery!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! Not sure if anyone has had experience with this, but I have my nose pierced. My surgery is scheduled for May 10th (yayy!) and I was wondering what the protocol was with piercings? I have a hoop in it now, but I can put a plastic retainer in it. The hole closes up really really quickly and I would hate to have to get it re-pierced again. Anyone know if the retainer will be allowed or if they'll remove that as well? It would be made totally of plastic.

Thanks everyone!

I would ask your surgeon what he or she thinks. I was told all piercings had to be removed, no questions asked.

While I am sure it depends on the surgeon, I don't think you will have a problem. I broke my wrist last year and when I went in for surgery they questioned it but let me keep my screw in when I explained the closer possibility. Not to mention trying to replace it with a broken wrist :)

My doctor was very strict about all piercings to come out. However my nose piercing must be cut out ( it is the one with the ball at the end). When I went for surgery I explained this and the nurses were not pleased but they let it pass.

After a few surgeries I got tired of struggling with other body piercings so I stopped taking them out too. Again the nurses were not pleased but I said unless the doc wants to put them back in for me after surgery they are staying in.

Since then they know what to expect and that I will have some piercings in me at surgery time. Of course they are no where near the surgery site, but if they were I would of course take them out.

Every doctor is different and if you explain what you can do ie plastic container instead of a earring, maybe they will let it pass.

It's unlikely you'll have to take them out completely. They have absolutely no impact on your surgery (nose piercings that is).

Replace it with Teflon or plastic and explain that you did that and you should be fine.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
