I am a Division 1 swimmer on scholarship at my university. I have wanted implants for many years. I have a thin, athletic build with AA to small A cup. Will breast implants to a full B cup hurt my athletic ability in any way? Are they a bad idea for someone of my body type? Thank you.
Answer: Athletic ability
You should think twice about getting augmentation surgery as this will alter your center of gravity in addition to increasing your over all weight. Altering your center of gravity will definitely affect your running dynamics. Although these changes are subtle, if your livelihood depends on it, then I would not recommend altering any part of your body.

Answer: Breast implants may slow you down.
Hi.
We actually had a competitive swimmer who got implants and then felt that the implants increased drag through the water.
