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

Procedure: 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 then is inserted into the pocket. A very small dressing is placed under the arms, and the patient typically can see the change immediately after surgery. During the recovery period, the patient is required not to lift his arms for 2 days after surgery. Dressings then are removed, followed by a gentle exercise program for 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. 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.
