Warning to those who are one year or less post-op--do not get any body piercings! Jamie is eight months post-op and was into the family doctor today and I asked him if she should be pre-medicated when getting her ears pierced. He said no, because she shouldn't be getting her ears pierced. This was his explanation as to why: He said that if you get teeth removed, they open you up and sew the holes shut right away. When they pierce your ears, they are open for several weeks which lets them open to infection. He suggested I call her surgeon which I did and I'm glad I did because both the surgeon and the family doctor agree that she should not have any body piercings at all until at least one year post-op.
This all makes sense but I would have never thought getting her ears pierced would be such a big deal!
