Can I Get A Brow Piercing If I Have A Custom Brow Bone Implant?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I am a previous patient of  Dr Eppley’s, and have an implant across my brow ridge, forehead, and eye sockets. I am interested in getting an eyebrow piercing that would sit over the surface of my implant. Does a piercing in this are pose any risk to the implant, particularly as it relates to a potential infection?

A:It should not as they would have no reason to be down at the bone/implant level with a piercing…..but they should be informed that an implant exists in the area.
