Medical Procedure: Pectoral Implants/Augmentation

Common Name: chest implants

What to Expect from Pectoral Implant Surgery: The pectoral implant procedure increases the size of the pectoralis muscles by using solid silicone implants, which appear and feel like real muscles that have been well-excercised for years. Some men spend a good portion of their lives building the muscles in their body but still cannot build mass in the chest area. On the other hand, some men are too busy to go to the gym or work out as much as they would like to. The pectoral implant procedure offers a perfect solution for the men who fit into these categories. The procedure is less invasive than breast implant surgery. You will see the results of this surgery immediately, and its results are permanent. Note that the pectoral implant procedure only adds bulk to the chest area, and does not create definition.

Description of Pectoral Implant Surgery: The first step is a detailed consulatation with your surgeon, who will determine the best method that will achieve your desired end results. After the patient undergoes anesthesia, an incision is made in the upper part of the armpits, and then pockets are made just beneath the pectoral muscles, for placement of the implants. The implants are then placed in these cavities, and the incisions are closed up with dissolving or removable stitches, in which case you may or may not have to return to your hospital or clinic for a follow-up visit to have your stitches removed. This procedure is typically outpatient, which means that the patient can return home the same day, however your doctor may require that you stay overnight in the hospital.


Good Candidates for Pectoral Implant Surgery: Healthy non-smoking individuals.18 should be the minimum age requirement for this surgical operation. It is important that the body is fully developed before making decisions to undergo this procedure.

Average Duration of Pectoral Implant Surgery: about 1 hour

Estimated Recovery Time: 1 week

I can return to work within: Pectoral Augmentation patients are usually able to return to work within 1 week, however strenuous activity is to be avoided for approximately 4-6 weeks.
I should see the complete result of my surgery within: Although you will see the results of your surgery (bulk in the pectoral area) immediately, it will take several weeks to a few months for the swelling and bruising to dissipate, and about one month for the scar in your armpit to fade.

Pain Factor: Pectoral Augmentation patients may undergo general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedatives. Most doctors and patients choose general anesthesia because it is often too gruesome for the average person to witness a surgical operation, especially on himself. Swelling and bruising is to be expected. The doctor will ask that you refrain from sports and heavy weight lifting for a few weeks following the procedure as sore muscles can cause further complications or prolong the healing process.

Potential Side Effects/Risks associated with Pectoral Implant Surgery: Allergic reaction to anesthesia, shifting of the implant up into the collarbone or beneath the armpit, bleeding, unwanted scarring, infection, temporary numbness of the upper arm, soreness.
