Chest exercises and breast implants

I am trying to start to train more seriously than I used to and have been following a weekly routine of strength training and cardio. I am looking to not just tone but get into super tip-top shape. I have had breast implants (under muscle) for about a year and half now and have always avoided chest exercises because I had heard u should if you have implants under the muscle? Is this true or am I needlessly avoiding a body part I really should be working with the rest of my routine?

hi! congrats on getting serious about exercise. i have no idea about what restrictions one has on lifting after implants, but Tara might know if she's around - she just got implants.


i think the best thing to do would be ask the doctor that did the implants.

I've known people who lift after implants but I agree w/ Jen that you should probably check w/ your doctor.
