Answer: Pectoralis major muscle activity Hello - your concern with how activity will affect breast implants is certainly one of the valid points discussed with your board-certified Plastic surgeon during a consultation. During any forceful chest or Pectoralis major muscle contraction, breast implants that have been placed under this muscle will be compressed and will appear to move. Breast implants can also be placed above the chest muscle to reduce this appearance of animation. However, this is only one of many factors that need to be evaluated during your pre-operative exam to make the best decision for you. Breast implant augmentation for athletes can work well in this setting. I wish you all the best.
