Men want to have a defined, muscular chest, but to achieve it through exercise can entail nearly a full-time commitment.
More and more men are opting to undergo pectoral implant placement surgery to increase the size and contour of their chest. The result is a more toned, sculpted appearance.
Placed directly under the pectoral muscles, pectoral implants are designed to achieve a natural, symmetrical, and more attractive chest.
Pectoral implants are anatomical in shape, providing the patient with a natural-looking result following the procedure. To reduce the risk of capsular contracture, where scar tissue forms around the implant, pectoral implants are designed with a rough surface. You will discuss you implant options with Dr. Trovato, deciding on choices such as vertically-shaped implants that create a higher, fuller mid-chest.

Then the implants are placed into the pocket and checked for position.
Most Dallas pectoral implant patients need to take a few days off work for this procedure.
