Abstract
Microdermal implants are a new uprising form of body modification very close to surface body piercing. They can be placed almost everywhere on the skin, giving the appearance that the jewellery is simply stuck on the skin's surface. We report on two young patients, aged 21 and 23, who underwent surgical excision of peri-umbilical microdermal implants, while previous ones were spontaneously rejected during their 8th and 5th months of pregnancy, respectively. Young women should be careful when choosing the setting of their microdermal implants. They should be discouraged to have it performed on the abdominal area in case of wanting pregnancy.
