Tight Chest and Poor Posture Due to Breast Augmentation?

June 13, 2013
Asked By:Daisy098

I had BA done in 2005. The implants are under the muscle and are the anatomical silicone gel type. Is it possible for the implants to make my chest muscles tighter or harder to stretch out? My trainer says I can't lift weights the proper way because my chest muscles aren't pulling their weight so my back over compensates. Is it just my posture or my desk job or is there any way the implants are a factor in this? My massage therapist always comments on my tight chest muscles too.
