Pectoral implant surgery is used to improve the appearance of the chest for both reconstructive and aesthetic purposes.
Implants are inserted under the muscle or skin of the chest to restore natural shape and proportions. The procedure is used to treat congenital and post-traumatic defects, as well as for aesthetic correction.
Pectoral muscle implants have been successfully used for many years. They are used for both aesthetic and reconstructive purposes, treating various congenital and acquired defects. Men, like women, can alter the appearance of their chest with pectoral implants.
Pectoral implant placement is a procedure used by men for post-traumatic reconstruction, congenital muscle deficiency (Poland syndrome), and aesthetic correction. The plastic surgeon selects the implant to best suit the patient’s anatomical conditions.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. The implant is inserted under the muscle or skin of the chest through small incisions in the armpit. The stitches are removed after 10 days.
A compression dressing is left around the chest until the stitches are removed. After this time, wearing a compression garment is recommended for approximately four weeks. Postoperative scars are virtually invisible. Immediately after the procedure, swelling, bruising, and tenderness may occur, persisting for several weeks.
The final results are visible after several months (skin formation time). Sports, physical exertion, heavy housework, heavy lifting, swimming in a pool, sunbathing, saunas, and tanning beds are prohibited.
The procedure involves the surgical placement of specially designed implants in the pectoral muscles, improving the shape and volume of the chest. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia.
The treatment is recommended for men who, despite physical exercise, do not achieve the desired chest shape, as well as for people who have suffered injuries or muscle deformities.
Returning to daily activities usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. Strenuous exercise can be resumed after approximately 6 weeks, as recommended by your doctor.
