Asked By:bemore95 in Bells, North Carolina

Hello! I have saline breast implants. a week ago I got dry needling done at the chiropractor. She inserted the needles in my lat and arm pit area. After I left I started thinking she was very close to my breast but I couldn’t see exactly where they were placed. Is it possible for a needle that small to hit my implant and puncture it? I haven’t noticed any big changes in my breasts, I’m just worried.
