Pectoral : Pectoral implants are generally placed under the pectoralis major muscle. The access is via an incision in the armpit that is about 2 inches long. Initially, you need to be careful about too much stress on your chest muscles but after about 6 weeks you shuld be able to resume weight lifting and other activities. My experience is that men who have these implants do not have any problems with activities or muscle weakness. They should not have any negative effect on future muscle building.

In : In my opinion, I am conflicted about the response to your question. If you plan on "forming more muscle tissue" on your chest than why get an implant now? Therefore my advice would be to achieve or maximize your ability to form muscle now or in the near future, and only then consider implants if you are unsuccessful in your goal. If i misunderstood and you are incapable of achieving any more muscle mass in your chest, then you have answered your question. Placing implants now should not be compromised if you have plateaued.
