If you are considering breast augmentation surgery, it is likely that you have questions about the different options available to enhance your physique. Whether you are considering breast implants, a breast lift, or a Mommy Makeover procedure, it is a fact that no two patients are identical. Indeed, each patient brings a unique set of questions to every appointment. As a top plastic surgical practice in Scottsdale, we sometimes encounter the question “Can I get breast implants if I have a nipple piercing?”
Nipple piercing is a type of body piercing, often at the base of the nipple, which creates a small hole through the tissue. Often jewelry is inserted through the piercing with many sizes and styles available. In fact, the practice of nipple piercing dates back hundreds of years.
Because a breast implant placement is well beneath the tissues of the nipple, there is no interference between a piercing and an implant. There are, however, factors to consider when considering breast implants after a nipple piercing.
Piercing Et Implants
In general, the piercing is through the base of the nipple, close to the areola of the breast. Your surgeon can place breast implants under the chest muscle, or over the chest muscle, but always beneath the existing breast tissue, including the areola. For this reason, the piercing is not near the breast implant.
Your implant placement is based on the specific surgical technique utilized, considering the type of implant you are receiving, and the personalized goals you have for your body. A highly skilled surgeon will develop a detailed plan that yields a beautiful aesthetic outcome, with your preferences in mind.
For the most part, yes, you are a candidate for breast implants if you have nipple piercings. If anything, the nipple piercing is a point of discussion you may want to broach with your plastic surgeon.

Generally, removing the piercing, and cleansing the area with a sterile wash, is the treatment of choice when undergoing a breast augmentation procedure when you have a nipple piercing. Sometimes, patients ask if they should replace the piercing with a plastic spacer for surgery, and our general answer is no.
In our experience, removing a piercing for surgery, and then either reinserting the jewelry when healed, or re-piercing the nipple, works in most circumstances. Your doctor may or may not recommend a plastic spacer. Ultimately, consult your physician for professional advice on your specific case.
In some cases, you do not need to need to remove nipple piercings before getting breast implants. If you will be undergoing a breast lift, then you will certainly need to remove the piercing. In most breast lift procedures (including a breast lift without implants), the position of the areola changes, so to allow for cosmetic repositioning and best-case aesthetic outcomes, you should remove your nipple piercing.

With a breast lift, the surgeon makes an incision around the areola and may be manipulating the tissues in this area. To achieve an ideal cosmetic outcome, remove your piercings.
Also, this type of peri-areolar incision is slightly more often associated with a higher risk of infection than an inframammary incision, which occurs beneath the breast in the inframammary fold. In these cases, the nipple piercings are an added liability, so removal tends to decrease infection routes, and minimize infection-related complications.
Usually after the post-operative phase, you should be able to get your nipples pierced without issue. In general, surgeons will recommend you wait at least three months to assure that your body has healed and that your entire system is back up and running full speed. Remember, every case is unique, so consult your physician for specific recommendations.

It’s generally recommended to get nipple piercings after breast augmentation surgery, as the nipples can shift and change position during the procedure, which may affect the placement of the piercings. In addition, nipple piercings can increase the risk of infection, which can delay healing and affect the overall outcome of the breast augmentation surgery. It’s important to wait until the breasts have fully healed and any swelling has subsided before getting piercings to minimize the risk of complications.
Nipple piercings, by their nature, do introduce a small opening route from the outside world into the mammary tissue of the breast. Because of this entry way, experts believe that there may be an increased risk of infection for the breast in general, when a nipple piercing is present. This risk carries over into breast surgery.
Your surgeon may introduce a nipple shield during breast augmentation surgery to close off the entry way and reduce the possible contamination of an implant with skin bacteria.

The mammary ducts of the nipple are not sterile and carry endogenous bacteria from the skin’s surface to the deep breast tissue, potentially causing infections in the breast implant cavity, if the infection is serious enough, the implant may need to be removed.
Doctors often opt for a ‘nipple shield’ when performing cosmetic breast augmentation surgery; to reduce contamination of the implant with skin bacteria. This is which why upper-half sexual contact is discouraged for at least six weeks post-surgery.
This will all depend on the type of cosmetic surgery procedure you proceed with. If you’re undergoing a procedure that involves a mastopexy (breast lift), it is necessary to remove the nipple piercing due to the increased infection risk. Mastopexy’s (Breast Lifts) usually involve a periareolar incision (around the areola) which have a higher risk of infection than the inframammary incision (under the breast crease).

A straight forward breast augmentation or a cosmetic breast surgery that doesn’t involve a lift or a cut around the incision. However, we recommend replacing the metal bars with plastic ones to avoid burns from the diathermy machine used during surgery.
For straight forward breast augmentations, you will need to leave your plastic bars in for at least three months. Removing and replacing jewellery can allow for the introduction of bacteria, increasing your risk of infection.
