Bioplast and piercings: safely to the hospital without worries
Are you having an MRI or surgery soon and do you have a piercing? You might be wondering: does my piercing need to be removed, and how do I do it safely without closing the hole or causing irritation?
Why metal piercings are often not allowed
During medical examinations such as MRI scans, it is usually mandatory to remove metal jewelry. Metal can disrupt the MRI's magnetic field or even be dangerous. Jewelry is also often prohibited during surgeries for reasons of sterility and safety.
All Perfectly Pierced: No metal piercings during an MRI
Bioplast as a temporary alternative
Fortunately , there's a safe solution: Bioplast . This flexible, skin-friendly plastic contains no metal and is virtually invisible on MRI scans. This makes it acceptable in many cases as a temporary piece of jewelry during medical procedures.
Please note: the hospital ultimately decides whether bioplast is permitted, so always discuss this with your doctor or healthcare provider beforehand.
Bioplast is ideal if you can't wear your piercing with metal temporarily, without the risk of the canal closing. However, only replace your jewelry once your piercing is fully healed , or have it professionally done by an experienced piercer. This prevents damage to your skin or scar tissue.

What should you pay attention to?
- Always consult your doctor about whether Bioplast is permitted during your treatment.
- Replace your jewelry a few days before your appointment so your body can get used to it.
- Never leave your piercing empty : this can cause the canal to close quickly, even with older piercings.
- Unsure? Contact your piercer or doctor for personalized advice.
Don't forget to exchange it back
After your treatment, it's important not to wear Bioplast for too long. Bioplast is intended as a temporary solution and is less suitable for long-term wear. Especially with piercings that haven't healed sufficiently, it's important to switch back to high-quality jewelry, such as titanium or 14k gold, in a timely manner. This prevents irritation, discoloration, or a setback in the healing process.
In our studio, we're happy to help you safely and sterilely replace your original jewelry. Please schedule an appointment in advance, so we can work together to ensure your piercing stays healthy and heals beautifully.
