I have my breast augmentation scheduled at the end of March. As a mom with two toddlers who take a toll on me with bad sleep habits I go to the chiropractor 2-3 times a month. Anyone know if there are any restrictions once being cleared by your surgeon on getting regular chiropractic care? How long did you wait? Was it fine to lay on the table belly down and be pushed on in the shoulder area? Any info would be wonderful to know in advance as I won’t see my surgeon until day if surgery now.

Answer: Postoperative protocol Dear Cherishtm1, every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. You should avoid lying on your abdomen during early postoperative period. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Can I continue chiropractic care after augmentation? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Any chiropractic manipulation that requires you to lay on your stomach should be avoided for at least 6-8 weeks after surgery. Not only will direct pressure cause discomfort, but it may also cause separation of your implants out towards your sides. Hope this helps.
