Should you remove your piercings if you are going to have oral surgery?

Answer by  patti (29325)

If x-rays have not yet been done, they will be, which will require the removal of any and all metal in your face and head. Whether you can keep the piercings in place during surgery depends on a number of factors. Rely on your oral surgeon to advise you as to what is best.

I am almost positive you will be required to remove them for any surgery. I have had surgery and procedures, and had to remove all jewelry and my glasses.

Your oral surgeon will recommend that you remove the lip piercing most certainly and possibly the nose as well. These piercings can obscure the field and make surgery difficult.
