Although exercise and diet helps to build muscle, it’s common for men to not get a defined chest using those tools alone. Pectoral implants enable men to achieve their desired physique, by enhancing the shape and volume of the pectoral muscle.This is a common use of pectoral implants; But they’re also able to correct various chest abnormalities, such as pectus excavatum and poland syndrome.

Are pectoral implants relevant to my needs?

They could be, if any of the following areas apply to you.

Cosmetic enhancement: If you desire a more defined and muscular chest, cosmetic enhancement of the pectoral muscle will build up your chest size and give you a naturally well-built appearance.
Pectus excavatum repair: Pectus excavatum (otherwise known as funnel chest) is a condition where the front of the chest has a caved-in, sunken appearance. Depending on the severity, this can have a significant impact on the patient’s self esteem, their confidence and ultimately how outgoing they are in general

Poland syndrome treatment: Poland Syndrome is a rare birth defect which causes the pectoral muscle - and occasionally other muscles in the upper limbs - to become underdeveloped, or to not grow at all. This gives the appearance of an inward curved chest wall, as well as other visible signs of deformity and asymmetry.

Which pec implant methods can I choose from?

There are a variety of pectoral implants, which are typically categorised into 2 types:

Standard, ready made pec implants: These are pre-manufactured with specific shapes and sizes, and are most commonly used to enhance the average pectoral muscle.

Custom-made pec implants: These are tailor made for each specific individual. This method is normally used to correct specific chest wall deformities such as pectus excavatum and poland syndrome.

After waking up from surgery, you may feel tightness around the chest. Though, the local anaesthetic will prevent any significant pain. At this point, the wounds will then be covered with dressings.

The procedures are performed as ‘day-case surgeries’, meaning you will be able to go home on the same day.

What can I expect from the recovery process?

You will experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort for the first few days. However, the pain is easily controlled by taking the prescribed painkillers and medications on a regular basis, as instructed.
