Here are some of the more popular chest cosmetic procedures:
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a relatively simple procedure. It is an outpatient procedure, so you can return home after a short recovery period. The surgery usually takes approximately 1-2 hours. However, if you have a breast-lift at the same time, this timeframe can be extended.
Breast Surgery
Breast surgery can include breast implant removal, breast uplift and enlargement, breast enlargement and augmentation, breast reduction and mentor breast implants.
Gynecomastia Surgery
Gynecomastia could be caused by hormone imbalances or being overweight. These can cause an increase in oestrogen levels and breast tissue growth.
For men suffering from gynaecomastia, breast reduction surgery may be an option. It can also be used to tighten breasts after significant weight loss, which has resulted in the skin sagging.
Surgery is not recommended for large breasts.
Pectoral Implants
Male pectoral implants are a type of specialised body contouring procedure. Some men can increase their chest muscles by lifting weights or taking supplements, but this may not be enough to achieve the desired results. Pectoral implants may be an option in these cases.
Implants can help you achieve a more toned and chiselled pectoral area in less time. The pectoral implants are not like the results you might get by exercising. They will remain the same size and will allow you to keep a toned body.
