Are chest exercises before breast augmentation a good or bad idea?

April 13, 2015
Asked By:jaggerchick in Orange County, CA

I know I won't be able to do any heavy lifting for a while after a BA, so I was thinking to give a little extra attention to my chest muscles during work outs the month before surgery to compensate. Does a BA go more smoothly if the muscles are weaker, in which case I should abstain, or does it not make a difference? Also, about how long will it take before I can comfortably do a push up again? Thanks!!
