Men under the knife:

Pectoral implants for men refer to the procedure to augment the form and size of the pectoral muscles, created by the results of heavy pectoral exercises. Pectoral implants procedure gives men an option to visually augment an area of the body through surgery when other alternatives fail.

Men who strive exercising, but cannot achieve the desired results often turn to Pectoral implant surgery as an alternative. The surgery can give the existing muscles a toned, enhanced look. For patients with congenital defects or loss of muscle in an accident or injury, the pectoral implant procedure can often reproduce a natural, even and symmetrical chest area.

Pectoral implant surgery usually takes between one and two hours to complete. Doctors most often begin pectoral implant surgery by making a small incision in the armpit, and then insert the implant endoscopically. After incision, the surgeon places the implants under the pectoral muscle. The incisions are then sutured and the surgery is complete. The implants are held in place by the overlying chest muscle or by sutures that are temporarily visible through the skin. A circular elastic bandage is placed around the chest for about one week, and then physical exercise is permitted progressively.

Pectoral implants can help to build aplomb in individuals who once were mortified by their facade.
