Lip Piercing and surgery? Help!

Hi all, got a slight problem, I have a medusa piercing, (middle of my top lip) has anyone else been allowed to keep their piercing in? If I take it out it’ll close up, can I put plastic jewellery in?

Thanks girls!

Hey hun, same with me, had to take out nose and tragus. You have to for ANY surgery. Once your surgery is over you can put it back in when you are at home so I doubt it’ll close up in an afternoon 🙂 XX

Such a pain, it’ll def close up in that time ? Ah well boobies are more important xx

Can see if you can wear a plastic one? I had nipple piercings they literally healed up in an afternoon 🙁 x

Hi!
I had a chat with my nurse yesterday about the same thing but with my bellybutton piercing. Mine is old but I do heal quickly, so I was worried about keeping it out for days but also didn’t wanna have to try and get it back in when I was drugged up to the eyeballs.
She said that even if I got a plastic one I wouldn’t be allowed to wear it because there’s still an infection risk. 🙁 But, she did say that if you take the piercing you can ask nicely for them to put it back in for you after your surgery. I hope that helps? 🙂

Ahh no @hayley41 can you not het a bar through it now?! I will be gutted if my nip piercing heals. Might see if the surgeon will put it back in for me! X

No I lost them both I was trying to put it in as soon as I came around and I couldn’t (could get an earring in tho) 8 days post op now tried loads day 1-3 and I gave up 🙁 x

I have a lot of piercings but I have the middle of my bottom lip done I literally took it out before I went down and back in when I came round. I stupidly left my tongue bar in and the team was rather angry about it but took it out for me! Xx
