When Is It Safe To See My Chiropractor?

Question

I am 6 weeks post op. Is it safe to go back to the chiropractor. I am afraid that laying on my stomach and getting adjusted will rupture my implants. I have Sillicone cohesive gel under the muscle.

Ted Eisenberg, DO, FACOS, FAACS · Answer

I tell my patients that it's best to wait about six weeks before they schedule a chiropractic appointment so as to avoid any discomfort while they are lying on their stomach. You'll want to let the chiropractor know that you recently got breast implants.

Christopher J. Davidson, MD, FACS · Answer

Definitely discuss this question with both your plastic surgeon and chiropractor.  I would say that you need to wait several months.

Michael Law, MD · Answer

This is a great question and one you should discuss with your plastic surgeon and your chiropractor

Stephen Salerno, MBBS, FRACS · Answer

I would think that at 6 weeks you should be safe to lay down on your breast.  I would not recommend any forceful direct pressure over the implant are as they can deform if too great a force is applied.  You should discuss this with the chiropractor and inform them that you have implants.  I would agree that you would be allowed to have some manipulation at this stage.RegardsStephen Salerno
