Based on the limited information provided, it does not seem to be an urgent concern. However, as a general recommendation, I advise my patients with submuscular breast implants to avoid exercises that strengthen the pectoralis muscles, as this can potentially cause lateral displacement of the implants over time.

If you have modified your exercise routine and are experiencing muscle soreness, it is likely due to the workout itself rather than an issue with your breast implants. If you have concerns, it is recommended to consult with your doctor.

Some muscle pain is normal after breast implant surgery, and it is generally not a cause for concern. In New York City, we advise women with breast implants to continue unrestricted exercises, which can occasionally result in minor muscle discomfort. - [Doctor's Name]

If you're experiencing aching after lifting, it's likely due to muscle strain rather than implants. Rest and give it several weeks to resolve, but if the ache persists, consult your surgeon for evaluation.
