Chest stretches before breast augmentation?

October 13, 2015
Asked By:Marieiscoollike in San Antonio, TX

I've been researching BA's for a very long time now and have heard that some women find themselves in alot more pain than others. And the tightness of the muscle can be a factor. Should I stretch my chest muscles before my surgery to prevent my doctor from having to work with tight muscles and could this also shorten my healing process?
