Chest implants make it appear more muscular and athletic. Men know it well: workout is not enough! Placing a pectoral implant is then the most effective solution.
Pectoral augmentation, is a surgical procedure designed to add fullness, size, and shape to the male chest. This procedure involves inserting a soft, high-grade, solid silicone implant into a space created under the pectoral muscles. To the touch, it has the feeling and consistency of a flexed muscle.

Pectoral implants share similarities with breast implants, consisting of silicone shells that add volume to the chest. These implants are strategically placed under the chest tissue to achieve the desired effect. Renowned for their safety, pectoral implants carry minimal risk of rupture or leaking. Available in various sizes and shapes, these implants offer the flexibility to create tailored chest definitions.
Living a healthy lifestyle and having a fit and strong-looking body is all the buzz today. Men are feeling the pressure to achieve a more muscular and defined upper body that cannot be achieved through traditional exercises, weightlifting, or diet.
Pectoral implants can help create a more contoured, sculpted, and muscular chest. They can also help restore volume to the chest that may have been lost due to aging, weight loss, or liposuction.
The procedure for male pectoral implants necessitates general anesthesia and entails the insertion of solid silicone implants through a minor incision in the armpit. These implants are secured by the pectoralis muscle, which remains unaffected by the surgery, enabling normal muscle function and exercise post-healing. Unlike breast implants used on women patients, male pec implants are not made with the same softness. In instances where muscle definition is lacking, fat transfer from alternate body areas may be employed to augment the pectoral muscles, offering a potentially more natural outcome compared to artificial implants.
Pectoral implant recovery involves managing pain, swelling, and bruising with medication and a compression garment, with patients typically returning to work in 1-2 weeks and avoiding strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks. Key aftercare instructions include sleeping with your head and shoulders elevated, showering after drain removal (if applicable), and avoiding heavy lifting, sit-ups, and push-ups for several weeks to allow the implants and muscles to heal properly.
Activity & Restrictions
Long-Term Aftercare
Chest implants are prosthetic implants surgically placed to enhance the size and shape of the male chest, offering a more masculine and athletic appearance.
Suitable candidates are men who wish to increase their chest volume, correct asymmetries, or improve their chest shape, and have not achieved the desired results through exercise alone.
Pros – pectoral implants can provide the look of muscle thickness and bulk to the chest area, regardless of one’s exercise routine. These implants are custom-designed to provide specific shape and size, and many men who have this procedure performed experience better self-confidence and self-esteem.
Pectoral implants can last a decade or longer, offering a lasting enhancement to your chest appearance.
There is a risk of scarring with every surgical procedure performed on the body. However, Dr. Coeugniet will make incisions in less noticeable areas of the chest to help in disguising the scarring from surgery and maintain a natural appearance to the chest. In fact, most implants can be inserted through the underarm area to keep scars concealed.
Most patients can return home the same day as the surgery. Recovery may take a few days to resume normal activities, with lifting restrictions for a few weeks.
Pectoral implants are considered safe, with minimal risk of rupture or leaking when placed by an experienced plastic surgeon.
Since male pectoral implants are made of solid, formed silicone, there is no danger of rupture or silicone leakage as with female breast implants. They do not require replacement during your lifetime. Many of our patients report feeling satisfied with their pectoral implants for 20 years. That said, if you want to enjoy long-lasting results, you must maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle.
The only part of the augmentation you should expect to feel will be your own natural chest muscles. We situate the implants entirely beneath your muscles. Also, the implants will not restrict movement in any way. Any future muscle development will only be enhanced by the pectoral implant underneath.
