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.
