Can I leave internal incision rupture after chiropractic treatment alone? (Photos)

Asked By:tropic421 in Houston, TX

I have an older tummy tuck done many years ago. While getting a chiropractic treatment, internal sutures were ruptured and a palm size mass appeared on the side below belly button ultrasound show no hernia but instead ruptured sutures. Surgeon in my area says i can leave it if I wish. (I do not want to undergo another surgery) am I at risk for further sutures to rupture now that these have? I can live with the lump. It's soft and easily hidden anyways, I'd appreciate another opinion.
