Pectoral Implants (Pectoral Augmentation)


Even with frequent exercise, men sometimes find that they are still unable to achieve the chest development that they desire. Pectoral implants shape, enlarge, and firm the chest muscles, helping one attain the look they want while still allowing a natural appearance when the pectoral muscles are either flexed or relaxed.

An incision is made high in the armpit and a pocket is made beneath the chest muscle and on top of the ribs A soft, solid silicone implant is cut to specifically fit each patient and inserted into the pocket. A very small dressing is placed under the arms and the patient can typically see the change immediately after surgery.

During the recovery period, the patient is instructed not to lift their arms for two days after surgery. Dressings are then removed followed by a gentle exercise program within 1-2 weeks to enable a full and comfortable range of motion of the arms. Generally within a week or two, physical use of the upper body muscles may be resumed and within one month, full pectoral muscular activity may be recommenced.

Surgical risks are few, but may include among others: infection, bleeding, asymmetry, scarring, and muscle and/or nerve damage.
