I Would Like to Know if There is Any Problem with Being a Professional Female Boxer, if I Have Breast Implants?

Hello and thanks for your question.

This is a rather interesting question.  I would say that you can get back to your normal training and exercise however when it comes to sparing I would be cautious for the main reason that direct blows to the chest could displace your implants as well as rupture them if you have forceful repetative hits to the chest and hence the implants.

Submuscular breast implant augmentation involves dissection of the serratus anterior muscle - "the boxer's muscle".  If you came to see me as a patient I would probably see if we could get a result using an implant over your muscles, and covering the implant with your own body fat - the so-called "composite breast augmentation" procedure we first described and published in this month's issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (see reference and  a You Tube Video)

This way, you could have natural soft tissue coverage but you wouldnt have to worry about any reduction in strength or muscle speed, important in boxing!
