Is it okay to wear a posture band after breast augmentation? (photo)

Asked By:moderngirl in Ontario, ON

I am 14 days po from submuscular BA. I have a slight scoliosis which I work with a chiropractor to keep my back in alignment. The surgery has caused these problems to flair up so much so that my shoulders are completely uneven and I’m scared it is throwing off the results of my surgery. Since I can’t have a traditional chiropractor app at this stage in recovery (I assume) is it okay for me to wear a posture corrector in the hopes it will help me stay straight? Could this cause harm?
