procedures for men

Today, men of all ages and all walks of life are requesting Cosmetic Surgery for cosmetic reasons. Men's goals include a more balanced nose, a rejuvenated face, a trimmer waistline. The procedures used to achieve these goals must take into consideration factors such as skin thickness, beard growth, or body type.

Pectoral Implants
Men who work out and are still unable to develop the pectoral muscles they hope to achieve may consider pectoral implants to enlarge the appearance of their chest muscles.

Implants will enhance the bulk and projection of your pectoral muscles, but they will not improve the definition of your muscles.

All Surgery Carries Some Uncertainty and Risk

Displacement of your chest implant or implants can occur. If your implants are only slightly out of place, you may not notice, and it probably will not bother you. It is very unlikely for others to notice minimally displaced implants. If your implants are moderately or significantly displaced, surgery will be required to move them back into position. Fortunately, displacement of chest implants is uncommon.

Infection can be devastating if it occurs. The implant will probably have to be removed, and you will need intravenous antibiotics. You may even need to be hospitalized. After six months, a new implants can be placed. It is extremely uncommon for an implant to become infected after that. In general, the risk of infection is about 1%.

The Surgery

Surgery is performed under general anesthesia or very heavy sedation. A small incision is hidden in your arm pit and the endoscope is used to create a cavity under your pectoralis muscle. The muscle is not separated from its attachments to the rib cage or breast bone. A solid silastic implant is chosen based on measurements of your chest made prior to surgery. The implant is soft, flexible, and durable and is placed directly beneath your pec muscle.

You will be allowed to go home the day of surgery. Your dressing and sutures will be removed in a few days. Do not perform any lifting or aerobic exercise for 4 weeks. After a month, the scar usually fades and becomes very difficult to see.
