Male Chest Augmentation




Some men prefer the bulky, muscular look or in other words, the 'Herculean look' as a complement to their masculinity. Male chest augmentation surgery helps them to achieve the desired look. Pectoral implants enhances the size and shape of the chest muscles.

Pectoral implants are thus the easiest way out when one wants to enhance their chest muscles without resorting to rigorous dieting and exercise. The solid silicone implants used in male chest augmentation surgery are absolutely safe and are not known to cause ant health hazards.

Procedure of Male Chest Augmentation Surgery


You should stop working out at the gym at least one to two weeks before your chest surgery. The surgeon should also be given a detailed medical history of the patient. A silicone implant is chosen according to your chest measurements before the surgical process. Chest implants are done after the application of a general anesthetic.

A small incision is made under the armpit and an endoscope is used to make a cavity under the chest muscles. The chest muscles are however, not separated from the breast bone as in the case of female breast implants. The pectoral implants are pushed into the cavity to attain the desired shape. The incisions are stitched off. The chest area is swathed in an elastic bandage to minimize the risks of swelling.

The sutures are removed a few days after the chest implant surgery. You need to desist from performing any exercise or aerobic for at least a period of four weeks. You should avoid any sun exposure on the chest area.

Risks of Male Chest Augmentation Surgery


Some of the common side effects of male chest augmentation surgery are numbness, bruising, tenderness, infection and even displacement and hematoma. In case of displacement, you have to undergo a surgery to place the silicone implant in the correct position. In cases of infection, you have to have the implant removed and take a dose of intravenous antibiotics. Risks of infection, hematoma and displacement are however, very rare.
