You should be fine. You must leave enough time to heal however. I prefer under the muscle placement, and I keep my patients restricted for two weeks after surgery to minimize the chance of bleeding.

Yes, it is safe for you to go through basic training after having had breast implants placed. However, most surgeons will ask you to wait until at least a month after surgery to prevent complications, including bleeding.

When large implants are placed, predictable and bad changes occur, causing problems that may be unfixable. The large implants require large dissection underneath the muscle (or worse under the breast). This creates a large "pocket". Skin thins; it is just doing what it is told when a...
