BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted November 8, 2014 I was told everything goes. My tragus is old so there wasn't an issue with leaving it open. I had a vc filter put in the day before. I planned to go to the piercers to have my tragus taken out when I left the hospital, but they wouldn't even do the filter with the tragus still in. A nurse removed it for me. She did a good job, except the hoop got bent. When I went to the piercers to get the tragus put back in a month later I ended up buying new jewelry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lallylocks 111 Posted November 8, 2014 I was able to leave mine in and tape over them. Just 3 lobe piercings both sides, and an industrial on the right which I put hoops in so nothing would snag the ends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lallylocks 111 Posted November 27, 2014 That one you might...it would be up to the anesthesiologist and nurses. But it should go back in when you wake up easily enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
