Male Pectoral Implant Surgery -Procedure and Recovery

Pectoral implants provide men with a sculpted masculine-looking chest. The procedure offers a safe and effective way for men to achieve the desired chest definition when even rigorous exercise does not work. The surgery involves placing the solid silicone implants under the pectoralis major muscle, this in turns helps enlarge, shape, and firm the upper chest. Surgical practices offering pectoral implants for men in NYC have surgeons with extensive expertise in the procedure and provide customized treatment.

You may be a good candidate for this procedure if you: - Have under-developed pectoral muscles that have not improved through weight lifting and exercise - Have a chest that is asymmetrical or otherwise deformed from birth or by an accident - Are in good general health and have a positive attitude and realistic expectations about the outcome.

What Pectoral Implant Surgery Involves Pec implants come in a variety of shapes and sizes. As they are made of solid, pliable, silicone polymer and contain a cohesive silicone gel, there is no risk of leakage or rupture.

At the consultation, the plastic surgeon will measure your chest and work with you to determine the size and shape of implant that will provide the best results in your case. You will then be given an general anesthetic. The surgeon will create a small incision of about 2 inches in the hair-bearing region of the arm pit (the axilla).

muscles is created using special surgical tools and the implant will be inserted and positioned between the pectoralis muscles. Once the implant is fitted completely, the incision will be closed and the procedure will be repeated on the opposite side. It usually takes about 2 hours to complete the entire procedure.

Care and Recovery Your surgeon will provide instructions on recovery after the procedure and you should follow them precisely. This will include how long recovery is likely to take and when you can resume normal activity and work. You will also be given advice on wearing a compression garment after the bandages are removed. The garment will keep you comfortable, help healing, and reduced the risk of the implants moving out of position. You will also be given advice on caring for your drains, taking the prescribed antibiotics, level and type of activity that is safe, normal symptoms you might experience, and potential signs of complications.

The recovery time associated with this surgery will varies based on individual considerations. Mild to moderate discomfort is common following the surgery.

You may have some pain when the anesthesia wears off. Your chest muscles may feel tight and you will be sore and stiff. The incisions may heal in about14 days and the swelling may heal in about 6 weeks. If symptoms such as pain, redness and swelling take too long to resolve, you should inform your plastic surgeon about it.
