Do sub-muscular breast implants make your pectorals weaker?

November 10, 2017
Asked By:Mica399

I am currently a B-cup and would like to increase a full cup size. I'm not looking for anything extreme just some added cleavage, but due to my smaller breast size it would look more natural to go under the muscle. I am an avid weightlifter including bench press/push ups/etc. Minus the fact of not being in the gym for over a month, do the implants cause your pecs to be weaker/unable to perform as well in general?
