Pectoral Implant

Pectoral implant is a surgical procedure performed to achieve an aesthetic and muscular appearance in men whose chest muscles have not developed or who want to gain volume. It is preferred in cases where the desired muscle mass cannot be achieved due to genetic factors, traumas, or sports.

What is a Pectoral Implant?

Pectoral implant surgery is performed by placing special silicone-filled muscle prostheses under the chest muscles. This gives the chest area a more voluminous, symmetrical, and masculine form. It is ideal for individuals who cannot achieve the desired muscle mass through bodybuilding.

In pre-operative evaluations, the appropriate implant size and shape are selected considering the patient's chest structure and desired appearance. The prostheses are placed under the pectoral muscle to provide a natural look. Aesthetic results that are unnoticeable from the outside can be achieved thanks to the appearance that mimics the muscle structure after the operation.

What are the Types of Pectoral Implants?

Pectoral implant is an aesthetic surgical procedure applied to make the chest muscles appear more voluminous and athletic. It is generally preferred in men when the chest muscles have not developed.
  • Standard Pectoral Implant: Offers a symmetrical and natural look, suitable for most patients.

Can I choose the pectoral implant size?

Yes. The surgeon recommends the appropriate size and shape according to your body structure, and the final decision is made together with the patient.

When do implants start to look natural?
Swelling usually subsides within 6-8 weeks, and the chest takes its natural shape.

Will the stitches be removed?
Mostly, dissolvable stitches are used. If necessary, they are removed by the doctor.

Are the implants long-lasting?
Yes. Quality implants maintain their form for years; the need for replacement is rare.

Will there be scars?
Incisions are hidden in the armpit or chest crease. Scars fade over time.

Do muscles continue to work naturally?
Yes. Implants placed under the muscle largely do not affect muscle movement.

What should I pay attention to during the recovery process?

  • Avoid heavy lifting: Chest muscles should not be strained, especially for the first 4 weeks.
  • Healthy diet: A protein-rich diet supports healing.
  • Avoid smoking and alcohol: Delays healing by affecting blood circulation.
  • Do not miss doctor's check-ups: The healing process is monitored during regular check-ups.
