Will Under the Muscle Implants Damage Pectoral Muscles Permanently?

March 27, 2010
Asked By:2447anon in UK

I have very little breast tissue, therefore would need to have implants under the muscle. My concern is as an athletic person who weight trains 5 times a week that this will cause permanent and irreparable damage to my chest muscles. Is it possible to undergo this procedure without undergoing any loss in pectoralis muscle strength and athletic ability?
