How you look has a direct effect on how you feel. As a man, you want to look and feel masculine. This is challenging when you do not have the pectoralis muscle definition or the figure of a bodybuilder that many other men walk around with at the gym. Fortunately, all hope is not lost for those who long to achieve the defined pectoral muscles that many others possess.
If you are one of the men wishing to change your chest appearance by adding definition, Hi Def Pec Augmentation may be just the thing to give you bulk in your chest, a boost of self-confidence, and attention.
What is Hi Def Pectoral Augmentation?
Hi-def pectoral augmentation is a procedure made for increasing a man’s chest mass as well as definition. The male patient will have a firm muscle-like implant introduced in his pectoral area. This implant is designed to give you the best possible full chest appearance without impeding your muscle function. It’s performed as an outpatient surgery with minimal scarring, and the cosmetic results are instantaneous, requiring very little downtime or aftercare, which differentiates them from chest implants for females.
Why Hi Def Pectoral Augmentation?
Many men simply lack the ability to develop their pectoral muscles to the degree that they would like, regardless of the amount of time they spend in the gym. Chests that appear adolescent or boyish will benefit from the added chest and pec volume, which one can achieve with this type of minimally invasive procedure. Having a fuller chest will give the patient a boost of confidence and added sex appeal. Achieving this mature look is possible with a hi-def pectoral augmentation.
Are You A Good Candidate For Hi Def Pectoral Augmentation?
There is no limit to the type, age, or size of the man looking to improve his pectoral region. Candidates for this type of outpatient surgery include everyday men looking for a definition, bodybuilders trying to achieve a fuller chest look, and any male seeking to enhance their physical appearance with larger, shapelier chest muscles.
*Each patient is unique and individual results may vary.
Hi Def Pectoral Augmentation Procedure
Before undergoing this type of elective surgery, it is important to select a close friend or family member to aid in the more strenuous of your everyday activities for a few days after the procedure. The doctor will require blood and urine testing beforehand to rule out any unknown issues or problems. Other than a good night’s sleep the night before, there are no pre-surgery preparations that need attention.
The procedure for this type of augmentative surgery involves the patient being put under general anesthesia. Once the patient is under, Dr. Steinbrech will create a small incision in the armpit of the patient. The implant is then slid into place through this tiny opening in the skin. Dr. Steinbrech will maneuver the implant into the desired position within the existing pectoral muscles. The implant is held in place by the existing pectoral muscles in the chest. The implant, although it shares the same space as the chest muscles, does not hinder the movement or use of the chest muscles in any way. Dr. Steinbrech will align and shape the pecs to achieve the fullest, most chiseled look possible. The incision is then closed to finish the augmentation. This same procedure is repeated on the other side of the chest and armpit.
After the surgery is complete, the patient may experience some slight discomfort in the area of the incisions. There may be isolated areas of bruising and tenderness for a few days and up to a week. Plenty of rest is recommended, with limitations on the amount of activity that one engages in for a couple of weeks. Strenuous exercise after healing should be limited. Men who have recently undergone this type of outpatient surgery should refrain from lifting or stressing their chest muscles for a few days up to six weeks. Normal activity and regular exercise can be resumed fully after approximately one week of healing. After the chest and incisions have fully healed, men are able to participate in any type of workout or bodybuilding regime they desire.
Surgical Risks Of Hi Def Pectoral Augmentation
The risks involved in this type of surgery are minimal. The main risks involve the bruising, swelling, and discomfort that come with this type of surgery. As with any type of surgery that involves the use of anesthesia, there is always a risk of an allergic reaction. In some rare cases, the patient may develop an infection that will require the attention of a physician for antibiotics. There is also a risk of the pectoral implants not being symmetrical in appearance or shifting within the chest after the procedure. These complications can be kept to a minimum by taking the time to ensure that the plastic surgeon doing the augmentation has high quality and proven skill in the field of augmentation.
Hi Def Pectoral Implant Surgery FAQs
Generally, a pectoral augmentation implant will last the patient a lifetime. There is always the chance for complications, but overall, patients are rarely in need of a second surgery.
Immediately after the procedure, the patient may feel groggy and nauseated from the anesthesia. When the initial pain medication wears off, the patient will likely encounter discomfort, swelling, and tenderness. The surgeon will prescribe pain medications to control the discomfort level. There will be minimum (nearly unnoticeable) scarring where the surgeon makes the incision in the armpit to insert the implants.
The risks involved include swelling, redness, tenderness, and discomfort at the incision site and possibly the chest area. Depending on each individual patient’s tolerance to anesthesia, there may be adverse effects or allergic reactions. The largest and most dangerous of the risks is the risk of infection of the surgical site or the implanted area. When any signs of an infection or fever are present after any type of surgical procedure, contact Dr. Steinbrech’s New York City clinic immediately for clinical advice and follow-up care.
It is best to take it easy for one to two weeks. A full recovery can be expected in one to two months. Returning to work depends tremendously on the type of work that one does. Men who hold business positions and require a desk and telephone may return to work sooner than a man who spends his days pouring concrete. Each case has its own individual parameters and limitations. Dr. Steinbrech will be able to give a determination of the correct amount of time that the patient will need to recover.
