Pectoral augmentation involves placing solid silicone implants beneath the pectoralis major muscle much like breast augmentation in women. The goal of male chest augmentation is to achieve a more contoured, masculine chest appearance.
Pectoral augmentation procedure is performed by placing the implants through a small incision in the armpit. It takes approximately one hour to complete and is performed on outpatient basis. The result of pectoral augmentation is a much firmer, more powerful-appearing chest. In addition to bringing about physical changes, this procedure can also greatly enhance the self-confidence of male patients.
