To compete, the result is that you'll lose breast tissue & bodyfat - its a given. But if you also find you like competing, then you come to the conflict that you're supposed to also be "feminine", while being stacked and lean, which is hard because to be stacked & lean, you're also going to lose breast tissue, which is how most people define "feminine". This then brings you to the decision of getting implants or not.
The gear thing has nothing to do implants and there is no physical or chemical interaction between the two. If you choose to continue in competition, you again come to a point of making a decision, as w/ the implants, if you want to continue to a "higher" level, its almost an unspoken necessity that you'll want to start exploring gear.
Down the road, with or without gear, you'll continue to develop pec muscles, which can conceivably make any boobage you have, look bigger because its sitting on top of a larger pec. But others may just view you as "too manly" then w/ little breast/ bodyfat but more pec development. If you have implants, then you need to give consideration to what continued pec development will do to the implant - if you have "over the muscle", it doesn't matter that much because the implant just sits on top of the muscle. If you have "unders" or partial unders, then the pecs have the tendency to flatten the implant when you flex (just like squeezing a balloon) and also the potential to push the implants outward w/ the muscle driving it. If this starts to happen, to "fix" it, you end up only able to go larger w/ the implant because the pocket in the muscle has been expanded and established w/ scar tissue - i.e. you can't fill it in or move it.
I'm built wide already and have "unders", so despite being a D cup, I have no cleavage at all because of the distance between the implants. I've talked to at least 1 surgeon about getting them "pushed" together - the only thing they could do is try to pull things in further but any blunt impact to the stuff strapping them in, would probably break - so it really can't be fixed once its happened because the pec muscle is already modifed w/ the pocket where the implant sits. The only option is to go w/ bigger implants to fill it in further.
