Could Chiropractic Work Have Damaged Implants For Breast Reconstruction?

October 11, 2011
Asked By:Laurel

I had many Chiro adjustments about 1 year after my breast reconstruction. I was wondering if the could cause the implants to be damaged? The adjustments involved laying on tummy and pushing on the spine briskly. I have gummy implants. They look very misshapen now. I did not think about it at the time but it just occured to me that this may have somthing to do with the way my reconstruction has turned out. I am currently almost five years from my surgery Thanks Laura
