Hey everyone. I never had surgery before and im not sure of these kinds of policies. Do I need to have a my piercings removed for surgery? Also, I normally have my nails done. Should I remove the tips and polish or is it ok.

I was told to take everything off my body but I wanted other opinions.

Im getting banded on Oct 3rd in Mexico by dr. verboonen and dr. Ponce de leon.

Thanx

My finger nails were not done but my toes had french manicare on them and they didnt say a word.

same here - french on the toes, but clear on finger nails.

if your Dr hasn't said anything about it - ask them up front just to be on the safe side.

my dr also wanted clean hair & face - no makeup / hair product / no perfumes etc. i'm sure there was a reason why, but i'm not much of a makeup person anyway - also all peircing out.

I was able to put plastic retainers in my piercings with no problems.
