A member asked:

What effects does working out the pectoral muscles have on your breast size?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very little: For the most part, muscle building will contribute very little to e breast size. In fact, when patients are considering breast augmentation, i generally ask them to subside from these exercises pre-operatively to minimize bleeding as well as post-operatively to minimize implant distortion.
