I am a competitive athlete, will a breast augmentation affect my body from intense exercise (once fully healed)?

I imagine there are women competing in Sochi with breast implants.  Make sure you identify an experienced surgeon Please find an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and member of the Aesthetic Society using the Smart Beauty Guide.

Thank you for your question.  It is difficult to answer without knowing what type of athletics you compete in.  Certainly contact sports such as kickboxing could result in damage to your breast implants.However high intensity cardio and weightlifting should not be a problem.I would encourage you to not have breast implants that are too large because increased bulk on your chest if you are thin and fit could be cumbersome.By not too large I mean not larger than the 250 cc to 325 cc range in my opinion.Be sure to consult a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, very experienced in breast surgery, and who has an excellent reputation in your community.
