Three months should be ok to return to regular physical activity.
You should be able to return to your regular excercise regimen after three months. Make sure you are doing all of the recommended massages from your PS to help the implant drop.

Weight lifting and augmentation
Tony Horton rocks! I love those workouts. Since you are three months out, you shoudl be okay it will not impact dropping of the implant anymore than other activity. I still can't do the one armed push-ups!

Weight lifting after breast augmentation
Resuming full physical activity with weight lifting is best deferred for at least 4 to 6 weeks after breast augmentation. Submuscular implants may continue to "settle" for several months after surgery, and it is possible there is some asymmetry during this process.

Implants dropping
Sheay,
If anything lifting weights early after surgery may cause them to settle too far down, if they are under the muscle. It would be best to discuss your progress with your plastic surgeon to see if they might recommend a modification of massage or possible consider some for of revision surgery although it is early in your recovery process for that.
I hope this helps
