Should I stop upper body workouts prior to surgery?

I do bootcamp three days a week and on other days I do a combo of cardio and weight training. A friend of mine mentioned that I may want to hold off on doing chest/upper body exercises so that my muscles aren't so tight since I will be having implants under the muscle. She said that when she had hers done her chest hurt so much more because her muscles were so tight. What are your thoughts or experiences??
