Pectoral implants

Pectoral implants: For a more virile torso

Pectoral implants give the chest a more muscular and athletic appearance. Fuzzy men know that weight training is not enough! The installation of a pectoral implant is then the most effective solution.

The indications: Pectorals not quite apparent

Pectoral implants are suitable in two specific cases: young men with an insufficiently developed rib cage or mature men with sagging breasts.

The pectoral muscles, located on the chest, are divided into two groups of muscles: the large pectoral on the lower part and the small pectoral on the upper part. For some men, strength training exercises that aim to develop these two muscles alternately fail to develop the pectoral muscles sufficiently.

The only solution to have a well-muscled chest is then to have prostheses fitted.

The process of the intervention

The pectoral implants are placed under general anaesthesia with an overnight stay in hospital and last about 1h30.

The pectoral implant consists of a smooth envelope filled with a very cohesive silicone gel. There are different shapes and sizes that are well adapted to the morphology of the male torso.

The surgeon makes a five-centimetre vertical incision hidden in the hollow of the armpit. The scars are therefore invisible. The practitioner then places the prosthesis in a recess under the pectoralis major muscle.

He then sutures the prosthesis with absorbable suture and applies a modelling bandage to the torso.

After the intervention

The pain is mild and well managed with analgesics. It gradually subsides during the first week. Swelling and bruising as well as discomfort when raising the arms may persist for a few weeks.

The patient wears a restraint bolero day and night for a month to keep the pectoral implants in place. He resumes daily activities after 1 week, work after 1 to 2 weeks and sports after 2 months.

The results

The result is visible immediately after the operation. The torso has a natural and muscular appearance. The pectorals are well defined and have more projection. Muscle function is not impeded.

Pectoral prostheses can be worn for life or removed at the patient’s request.
