Men's pec augmentation

Defined. Athletic. Yours.

More men are choosing pectoral augmentation for the chest definition the gym has not delivered. Dr. Palladino sizes and places the implants to work with the muscle you already have.

Pectoral implant surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the male chest region and present a more masculine physique. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Humberto Palladino treats men of all ages who desire greater chest definition.

Women have breast augmentation for shape and size; men have pectoral augmentation, and where appropriate pectoral implants, for definition. Genetics decides a great deal of what training can produce. When exercise and diet alone have not delivered the chest contour you want, there are options worth hearing about.

Dr. Palladino serves Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Boca Raton, North Palm Beach, and the surrounding areas. All surgery carries inherent risks, and candidacy is determined during your personal one-on-one consultation.

Men's pec augmentation, in Dr. Palladino's own words

The procedure

Implants engineered for men

Not all chest implants are the same. Men's pectoral implants are engineered for male anatomy, and they differ in both material and design from those used in female breast augmentation.

Purpose-Built Implants

Engineered for masculine anatomy

  • Men's pectoral implants are smooth, flexible, and solid
  • They do not contain silicone gel, so the probability of leaking is nil
  • Virtually break-resistant and far less complicated than female breast implants
  • Designed to mimic the natural contour and firmness of developed pectoral muscle
  • Placed beneath the pectoralis major for a natural, athletic appearance

Working with Dr. Palladino

Preparing and recovering, step by step

You will likely find pec augmentation surgery to be less complicated than you imagined. Pectoral augmentation and implants can be performed at our surgery center. It typically only takes a few hours of your time.

Plan to bring someone with you. Anesthesia will be administered, so you will need a ride home, and rest matters in the days after pec augmentation surgery.

Some patients choose to combine pec augmentation with other procedures such as tummy tuck or liposuction. In these cases, additional time in surgery and recovery will be required. Do not eat, drink, shave, or apply lotions on the evening before or on the day of your surgery. Anesthesia can only be administered on an empty stomach.

You should also stay out of direct sun, tanning booths, and UV rays for at least six weeks after pec augmentation. Everyone heals differently; taking proper care of your skin and body is essential to getting the most from your results. Dr. Palladino will answer all of your questions during your consultation.
