Pectoral Implants for Men - Achieve a Muscular, Well-Defined Chest

Men have become increasingly aware of the benefits of having an attractive and masculine physique. This has lead to a significant surge in aesthetic chest surgery for men over the last few years. Many men work out rigorously to develop and tone their pectoral muscles, but are unable to achieve the results they want. Pectoral implant surgery provides the solution. It involves inserting implants between the pectoralis muscles to improve chest contour and definition. Pec implants for men in NYC are available in a variety of shapes and sizes.

A toned, well-defined chest is symbol of manliness and strength and improves a man’s appearance. It also strengthens self image and increases self confidence. Here are the key reasons why men consider pec implant surgery:

Pectoral implants are solid silicone implants that mimic the pectoral muscles. Pec implant surgery is performed using general anaesthesia. A small incision 2 inches in length is made in the armpit. A pocket is created under the pectoral muscles and the implants are inserted into the pocket. The implants are kept in place by the pectoral muscles. This procedure takes about 2 hours. It does not affect muscle function. There may be minor pain, swelling or bruising after the surgery, but these side effects will disappear in about a week's time. Incisions will heal in around 14 days while implant healing usually takes about 6 weeks. However, actual recovery time will vary depending on individual considerations. 

Your plastic surgeon will give your specific instructions about post-op care, including when you can resume your routine activities. Patients are usually advised not lift their arms for two weeks. Other recommendations would include:

Wearing a compression garment and taking care of the drains

Taking the prescribed antibiotics

Doing gentle exercises over the weeks following surgery – this will help the implants to settle into place and also help you slowly regain full range of motion in your arms.  

AAAASF-accredited plastic surgery practices offer pectoral implants for men in NYC. Choosing a practice with plastic surgeons who are experienced and skilled in performing the surgery is important for a comfortable surgical experience and to achieve attractive and natural looking results.
