Answer: Building Pectoral Muscles Before Breast Augmentation? Thank you for the question. There is no need to stop upper or lower body exercise prior to undergoing breast augmentation surgery. Working out prior to surgery will not make recovery more difficult or painful. Your plastic surgeon will guide you postoperatively when it comes to resuming activities. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very happy with.

Answer: Getting ready for a breast augmentation This really isn't going to make a difference as the amount of muscle that you may add won't significantly affect the overall size. Also, if you're getting the implants placed under the muscle you may want to avoid any heavy chest building exercises so that your recovery is easier. Getting the implants over the muscle will give you an easier recovery, but you may see the outline of the implants more. Good luck!

Answer: Breast Implants Under the Muscle It will not make a difference in recovery. So you can go ahead and do your weight lifting and be rest assured that it will not make your recovery and more or less painful. What works well during the recovery phase is muscle relaxants and make sure your surgeon provides a prescription for some in addition to the pain medication that you are prescribed.

Answer: Effects of building pec muscles with implants Most breast augmentations are done by placing the implants under the pec muscles for a variety of reasons, but whether they are bulked up or not should make litle difference in the early recovery. However, if you are a body builder or athletic, there are issues that are more important long-term with implants under the muscle. One common example is what are called "animation deformities" in which the breast is distorted every time the muscle is flexed. A variation of the subfascial technique can help minimize this.
