Exercising Pecs After Breast Augmentation?

March 5, 2016
Asked By:Scarlet13 in Sacramento, CA

What are some good exercises to begin strengthening the pectoral muscles after a breast augmentation? Are there any exercises a sub-pec breast-aug patient should never do? I've avoided exercise that involves my pecs because it feels so strange. I am almost 2 years post-op and I'm interested in joining a weight-lifting class but I'm afraid my implants will prevent me from keeping up with everyone else.
