Why Male Pectoral Implants are Growing in Popularity

Even after hitting the gym hard, many men find that they cannot achieve the muscular chest they want. Male pectoral implant surgery can provide the solution. This cosmetic surgical procedure has become increasingly popular among men when diet and exercise fail to work. Pec implants surgery involves placing a solid silicone implant under the chest muscle to provide definition. It can address asymmetry or congenital underdevelopment of the pectorals, which usually occurs due to factors like genetics, injury, growth defects, and other conditions. Pec implants come in different sizes and shapes and augment the size and shape of the chest by enhancing contours and the appearance of muscle.

Male pectoral implants are an ideal option for people who:

●       Have under-developed pectoral muscles that have not been increased even with vigorous exercise

●       Are athletic and wish to improve chest contour

●       Have an asymmetrical or otherwise deformed chest from birth or due to an accident

The procedure:

First, the area to be treated is numbed. The surgeon will make a small incision -- about 2 inches long -- in the armpit and create a pocket for the implant to be inserted under the pectoralis major muscle. After chest implants of the appropriate size and shape are inserted in the pocket, the muscle lining and skin are closed with sutures, which will dissolve over time. The procedure is repeated on the other side of the chest.

During the healing process, the implants are surrounded by the scar tissue pocket, where it stays permanently. After the incisions heal, the resulting scars would be barely visible.
