Breast surgery has been popular among women for many years. But some men may also be good candidates for chest enhancement through plastic surgery. For men who do not attain desired chest muscle tone and definition through exercise alone, pectoral implants may be a good option. The pectoral implant procedure is designed to increase the chest size and shape using solid silicone implants that are surgically placed beneath the chest muscle.
What can I expect during the pectoral implant procedure?
Dr. Savalia performs male breast surgery in a Newport Beach-based surgical center. Pectoral implant surgery usually takes about two hours under general anesthesia. Dr. Savalia performs pectoral implant surgery by making a small incision in the armpit, and then inserting the implant.
What is recovery from pectoral implant surgery like?
Dr. Savalia will suggest you wear an elastic bandage or vest to reduce swelling following pectoral implant surgery. Soreness and bruising are common and should fade within a week or so. Dr. Savalia may prescribe oral medication for discomfort as required. By the second week after the procedure, most patients are able to resume normal, everyday activities. To optimize your results from pectoral implants, Dr. Savalia may recommend other procedures such as liposuction.
For more information on pectoral implants, please call or email Dr. Savalia at our Orange County-area plastic surgery office.
