The enhancement of the male chest has some obvious differences from that of the female chest. In women the goal is to make a larger mound that sits on top of the muscle. Conversely in men, the goal is to enhance the size and projection of the deeper pectoralis major muscle. As a result the Read More…
Pectoral implants are the male equivalent of breast implants for women. While done far less frequently, as men can build their pectoral muscles by exercise, they are very effective at enhancing the size of the pectoral muscle through placement behind it. They are actually done more often in men that workout than in men who Read More…
Background: The equivalent to female breast augmentation in men are pectoral implants. Besides the obvious differences in aesthetic objectives, pectoral implants differ in that they are solid devices that are placed completely in a submuscular position within the confines of the borders of the pectoralis major muscle. This is almost always done through a transaxillary Read More…
Pectoral implants are the primary method of male chest enhancement. Placed on top of the ribcage, they are intended to increase the volumetric effect of what lies over them…the pectoralis major muscle. Because it is a muscle enhancing implant and not a mound creator like breast implants, the tissue pocket for pectoral implants should not Read More…
The principal method to augment the male chest is with the use of pectoral implants. Like in the female breast, the placement of a pectoral implant creates an immediate chest enlargement. The fundamental difference between a female and make chest implant is that one is a fluid-filled device while the other one is solid. The Read More…
Pectoral implants for male chest enhancement can be a very effective method for a visible change in the size and shape of the pectoralis muscle. Inserted in a completely submuscular position, they push outward on the entire muscle in a largely even distribution of volume. The implants are inserted through a high axillary incision which Read More…
Background: Augmentation of the male chest can be done by either fat injections or pectoral implants. Fat injections, however, can be unpredictable and often only creates a fuller and rounder chest appearance. Implants produce a much more natural and guaranteed pectoral muscle enhancement effect since they are placed directly under the muscle. By being Read More…
Pectoral implants in men is the equivalent of breast implants in women. Both serve to enhance the chest appearance in their respective genders. But beyond this general concept, pectoral implants and breast implants are very different. One major difference is the such implants in men are for muscular augmentation. As such it is placed Read More…
Background: Augmentation of the male chest is most commonly and successfully done by weight control and muscle hypertrophy and exercise. A more immediate and sustained effect that does not rely on strenuous exercise is that of pectoral implants. Such male chest augmentation devices have been around for decades and have a long track history of Read More…
Pectoral implants are the male equivalent of breast implants for women. The fundamental difference is that pectoral implants are a muscle enhancing procedure while breast implants are a non-muscular soft tissue (breast mound) enhancing procedure. These anatomic differences make for subtle but significant differences in the surgical technique in how the implants are placed. Pectoral Read More…
