Can weight lifting ruin my implants or cause negative effects on them?

dizz21
I got my implants just over a year ago and I recently started weight lifting at the gym again. I'm not "hardcore" into weights, just looking to tone, but with certain exercises my chest contracts and it feels awkward. Am I going to ruin my implants? Are there specific exercises to avoid completely? Should I use a lot less weight than I normally do and build up again? Thanks
