Dermal anchors or Dermal piercings are permanent and can't be removed once healed. Once healed and you choose to remove the jewellery you must seek the assistance of a Doctor to have the anchors cut out of the body. Legally a professional body piercer can not remove a dermal anchor once it's healed (it's considered a medical procedure and would be a criminal offence for a body piercer to remove a dermal anchor considering is must be cur out of the body, a procedure that can only be provided by a licensed Doctor {a.k.a. practicing medicine without a license, piercers in the US have been charged and convicted for doing this}).

Dermal anchors, micro dermals are made from grade 23 surgical titanium. They will not effect nor cause any issues with MRI or CAT scan machines, grade 23 titanium is non-magnetic. Now "most dermals" have holes in the feet to allow the body to knit or form tissue to the dermal foot to hold the dermal in place. "waist piercings" done with dermals should not pose an issue to an up to date OBGYN or GP. Simply wiping the dermal down with Providone Iodine and applying a bandage over the dermal during delivery should be fine and this will prevent possible cross contamination should a "C" section be required. The "less than knowledgeable" OBGYN or GP will tell you that the dermals will need to be removed. If the dermal is of the standard design and happens to have holes in the feet, they will need to be removed by your piercer or other professional piercer who knows what they are doing to minimize the soft tissue damage during removal. The average GP doesn't know how this jewellery works and they tend to be way too rough and scalpel happy in an attempt to remove the dermals. This tends to lead to excessive scarring. I would suggest you talk to your GP and or OBGYN and get there opinion as to which way to go, leave them in as I have stated or remove them and have them replaced after the delivery date.
