Should I wait to go to the chiropractor after my BBL 2 weeks ago?

Question

I used to go to the chiropractor on the regular before my BBL. I'm soon 2 weeks post op and my shoulder is killing me. Should I wait to go to the chiropractor? I figure with the swelling and everything it wouldn't be a good idea to be cracked up? I usually do dry needing in my shoulders and neck. Perhaps stay away the back chest cracks

This is a question only your plastic surgeon can answer as he knows how you are healing.  Any pressure on the buttocks would need to be avoided. After 6 weeks the fat has revascularized, so you may want to wait until then.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Dear sloppyfish,
you should avoid pressure on your buttocks in early postoperative period. Every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Surgeons often have different opinions so it’s probably best if you discuss this with your own surgeon. Since chiropractic is generally not accepted by medical doctors as anything but a glorified massage there is not going to be a whole lot of evidence on when it is ok to get it done after BBL.
