The chest area can be enhanced and improved with both fat grafting and pectoral implants. The modeling of the male chest by the placement of pectoral implants, manages to improve the definition and contour of the chest that can not be achieved by diet or exercise.
This procedure is an excellent option for men who are athletically active, fit and want to increase the volume of their chest. This surgery involves inserting a smooth, soft and flexible silicone implant through a small incision lateral to the chest that can be camouflaged under the arm. The implants are placed under the muscle to allow normal function of the muscles and a natural look.
In addition to restoring the volume in the male chest, they are also indicated for men with anatomical alterations to improve symmetry on their chest.
The pectoral implants used by AMCPER board certified plastic surgeons working with Blue Medical Services are made of medical grade silicone.
There are different types and sizes of implants available, depending on the need of each case, it is important to remember that each patient is different, and you will be able to choose the size along with the help of a surgeon who after an evaluation, will give you the best options.
