What Are Pectoral Implants?

Pectoral implants, pec implants for short, are synthetic medical implants that are placed either on top of or under the pectoral muscles for the purpose of male chest enhancement. These solid silicone implants can help establish more defined pectoral muscles and can significantly improve the confidence of men who are not achieving satisfactory results with diet and exercise alone.

I had my first consultation with Dr. Wallach in February 2012 to discuss body-contouring procedures after massive weight loss. I had seen two plastic surgeons prior to Dr. Wallach. From the very moment that I received a phone call from the patient coordinator I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Wallach listened and answered all of my questions and was very patient. In May 2012 I had a circumferential abdominoplasty with a fleur d’lis. Dr. Wallach was there every step of the way. I had never met a doctor more dedicated to his patients. While other plastic surgeons were willing to do an entire body lift at once Dr. Wallach would not compromise his patients’ health. He is honest, caring, and above all a very competent surgeon. I would strongly recommend his care to anyone considering a procedure. He is truly an exceptional surgeon, whose expertise far outweighs other surgeons in his field. The quality of Dr. Wallach’s patient care and bedside manner is far superior to that of other plastic surgeons with whom I have consulted, and the passion he exhibits for his profession is second to none. Dr Wallach’s first priority is always patient health and safety, and is unwilling to compromise either for fiscal gain. This is not something I can say about the other plastic surgeons I consulted with, who were willing to perform any elaborate, complicated, and much more risk-laden surgery because “the price was right.” I would not go to any other surgeon and I am looking forward to my next procedure with Dr. Wallach.

I was referred to and met Dr. Wallach in late January 2014 regarding having a BBL procedure done, Dr. Wallach easy going personality and professionalism put my mind at ease. I have unique medical issues and after speakina with him I knew he was the perfect physician for my procedure. My surgery was scheduled for mid-February and it went without a hitch. Mind you the day of the surgery there was a big snowstorm; but everyone on the team including myself made it in safely. Dr. Wallach was very informative on the day of surgery: explaining evey step to me and my husband. He was caring and made sure everything was being done to ensure our privacy and that I was comfortable. I must say I was very satisfied with the results and still am. I would definitely go back to Dr Wallach for any future work and would highly recommend him! His office assistant Nicole is a sweet heart and thank them both for the loving care. I have received endless compliments and owe Dr. Wallach a multitude of gratitude!!!!!

Who Is a Candidate for Pectoral Implants?

The ideal candidate for pectoral implants is any patient seeking to enhance the appearance of the pectoral muscle through cosmetic surgery when diet and exercise regimens do not yield the proper results. Candidates for pectoral implant surgery should be at their ideal weight, in good overall health, be non-smokers, and maintain realistic expectations regarding the outcomes of their procedure. The best way to determine your candidacy for this procedure is by scheduling a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

The Pectoral Implant Procedure

Male pectoral augmentation offers men a muscular and sculpted contour to their chest. During your surgery, Dr. Wallach will use general anesthesia and insert the pectoral implants using a small incision in the armpit. Your implants stay in place due to the pectoralis muscle in the chest. Whether the implant is placed on top of the pectoralis major muscle or beneath it, this surgical procedure in no way hinders the functioning of the muscle and allows you to continue exercising once you have healed from the surgery.

What Makes Male Pectoral Implants Different From Breast Implants?

Pectoral implants used for the enhancement and definition of the pectoral muscles are different than implants used for breast augmentation. Pectoral implants are made from a solid, hard silicone material that remains firm to the touch, like the feeling of actual muscle tissue. Breast implants used to increase the size and shape of the breast tissue for women are made from a capsule that is filled with a soft silicone gel or sterile saline solution. Breast implants are meant to mimic the feeling of natural breast tissue and will compress, then bounce back when touched. Male chest augmentation surgery is different from female implant surgery since it allows Dr. Wallach to give you a well-defined and chiseled chest appearance rather than a full and voluminous one.

Pec Implant Surgery Recovery

After your surgery, you may feel sore for a few days. Post-surgical discomfort will gradually fade in the coming days, but any pain can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Any strenuous activities and exercises must be avoided for about 6 weeks, and most men are able to return to their normal activities within a week after their pectoral enhancement surgery. In order to ensure optimal recovery and results, it is essential to follow all post-op instructions provided to you by your plastic surgeon.
