Nipple piercing

Hello I used to have my nipples pierced, then I discovered I had breast cancer (not piercing related)  I had a mastectomy on the right side with reconstruction but I really want my piercings back. Obviously I can't have the reconstruction side but is it safe to have the left side done (not cancer side) 

  • Hello and thanks for your enquiry,

    Unfortunately, we are not in a position to give you a specific answer, as we are not directly involved with your clinical care. It may be fine, but you will need to ask your hospital breast care team about this. They can advise you.

    Best wishes,
