When could I be adjusted by a chiropractor (including neck to lower back) after breast augmentation?

Question

I had breast aug mid Feb under the muscle. I have back issues and need adjustments along my full back that are done face down on the bed/chair. When can i start these treatments again without affecting the implant or look of the breasts?

Thank you for your question. You are likely well healed by now and should not have any issues with this. However, I would inform your plastic surgeon before moving forward.

You are 9 months post op you should be fine in going for you adjustments with out any problems, best of luck.

Thank you for sharing your question.  After 9 months there should be no risk for a chiropractic manipulation after having a breast augmentation.  In general I would ask patients to wait at least 6 weeks after surgery before pursuing manipulations.  Hope this helps.

I recommend no strenuous activity or heavy lifting for one month after breast augmentation.  After 9 months you should be doing anything you wish, but check in with your surgeon.  Good luck!

I believe it is quite safe to have chiropractic treatments to your back (facing down) from the 6th week on after breast augmentation surgery. This recommendation may vary a bit from surgeon to surgeon. So at 9 months you are definitely good to go.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author
