After bi-lateral breast reconstruction surgery with implants, can I weight train my chest area?


I have lost a lot of my upper body strength after having breast reconstructive surgery. I have started to work out again and am wondering if doing chest excercises will change the look of my reconstruction and also if I will gain my strength back.

Yes, you can. Not right after you have surgery, but ask your M.D. when you can. Let it heal properly first.

once you are healed, i don't see any reason why you couldn't. i know a female body builder who has implants and her training regiment has not affected her implants.

Why should it be scary a vagina is one of the beautiful parts of a women's body something to treasured and enjoyed

well, obviously the person to ask is your doc.
But, as long as the surgery site is healed, I can't see him saying no.
