Pectoral Implants
Pectoral implants can be used to augment the male chest wall. Implants can be used to provide additional projection of the chest wall enhancing the appearance and often times the self image of the patient.The specifics of the operation vary from patient to patient. During the consultation with the patient, your doctor discusses the amount of augmentation that the patient desires. The preferred shape of the chest wall is also discussed with the patient. Pectoral implants have been very successful in allowing the patients to achieve increased fullness in the chest area. This operation may serve to correct a congenital deformity or tear of the pectoral muscle. With adequate pre-operative preparation, attention to detail intra-operatively, and attentive post-operative care, patient satisfaction after this operation is extremely high.
