Pushups and chest press after Breast Augmentation.

daneeser
Ive heard both sides of the argument regarding doing pushups after BA. Are there certain surgery techniques that lend to allowing chest exercises over others that do not? or is it more a differing school of thought? (Besides the over the muscle implant vs under the muscle). just feel pushups are so good for my entire body and upper body strength is essential to good posture and good back health. Should I avoid them/remove from my strengthening routine?
