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.

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…
Unlike facial implants, the use of body implants (excluding breast implants) has a much shorter surgical history. While the use of facial implants dates back more than five decades in plastic surgery, body implants have been done for less than two decades and in numbers that are just a fraction of that of face or Read More…
Background: The male chest is largely defined by the size and shape of the pectoralis muscle as well as the nipple-areolar complex. While chest asymmetry to some degree is common in many men, significant asymmetry is most commonluy caused by abnormal development.

Although there are some patients who do lose such large amounts of weight by their own diet and exercise efforts. One of Read More…
Short of metal implants used for fixation and repair in bone surgery, most implants used in plastic surgery are composed of a silicone-based material. It may have varying states of being a solid, (soft to more firm) but silicone-containing implants have long been recognized as one of, if not the most, biocompatible synthetic material in Read More…
