If you are in good health (no
serious health concerns) and have realistic expectations -- you may be a good
candidate for Pectoral Implants. Some individuals can exercise and lift weights
or bench press until they are blue in the face and cannot seem to build muscle
in the chest area. If you are one of these individuals, you may be a candidate
for Pectoral Implants.
Pectoral Implants are normally made from medical
grade silicone, a pliable, yet firm, solid piece of silicone. This solid
Silicone is made from sand, is generally well-tolerated by the body and has the
capacity to be formed into various shapes.
Normally these blocks of silicone can be carved
to custom fit an individual for implantation. The medical grade silicone is
non-reactive and considered non toxic and an excellent choice for augmentation
in these areas.
There is really only one technique so far and two
insertion types. Depending upon your body's tissue, the Silicone implants will
be custom fit to accommodate your own body style and inserted through an
incision in the natural crease under the pectoral mound or on the side near the
underarm area and placed under the muscle to hide the contours of the implant
and decrease the possibility of palpability.
Your surgeon will discuss with
you the realistic expectations you must have and what he thinks is possible for
the end result. He will discuss the risks of the procedure. show photos if
applicable and discuss with you the details of the procedure itself. It is
possible that your doctor (depending on your measurements and desires) may have
to custom fit an implant. Sometimes the surgeon will have to custom fit you by
carving the inner portion of the implant to fit an individuals pectoral muscle
area. That way there will be more comfort for the patient.
The procedure is usually
performed under Light Sleep Sedation with local anesthetic or general
anesthetic. An incision is made either under the pectoral mound or on the side
in the underarm area. A pocket is made under the muscle (pectoralis majora)
separating it from the pectoralis minora (chest wall) and the implant is placed
between these two muscles. The implant is situated and then the pocket is
sutured as well as the incision area.
Augmentation with Pectoral Implants resembles the
appearance of a tone and worked out muscle. They may feel a little firm to the
touch. But no firmer than when a person flexes his/her muscle. Especially
since the muscle covers the implant -- there is less of a chance of palpability.
You can expect to be pretty sore due to the
pectoralis muscle trauma. You are not allowed to lift heavy objects or even
light objects over your head for several weeks. Pain medications should
alleviate most of the pain or discomfort you may feel. You must be careful not
to strain the muscles in that area. Doing so could pop the sutures or disrupt
the pocket holding the implant leading to additional surgery or possible
infection. Your sutures on the exterior may be of the dissolving or
non-dissolving type. Of they are non-dissolving they will be removed in
approximately 10 days. No exercising for several weeks either!
Most patients attribute the pain associated with
Pectoral implants comparable with a hard workout at the gym -- too many bench
presses or butterfly curls. The prescribed pain medication should alleviate the
pain, although if you feel as if the pain you are experiencing is severe, do not
hesitate to contact your surgeon or the staff member on call. You must realize
that there is trauma to the surrounding tissues involved with Pectoral implants
and a moderate amount of pain should be expected.
For Pectoral Implants the incisions are made in
the natural crease/mound underneath the Pectoral area. The scars should should
flatten and fade with time although they may be red and raised for months. You
could incorporate silicone sheeting after the incisions are removed to help fade
the resulting scars. Or your doctor may also use Steri-Strips to help flatten
and heal the incisions.
The swelling for Pectoral Implants is minor
although some individuals may have edema (fluid retention) in the tissues more
than others. There is considerable trauma to the surrounding tissues and normal
swelling and discoloration is normal. If you feel that your swelling is severe
do not hesitate to call your surgeon or the staff member on call.
You should at least wait 4 days if you
have a very low key job like an desk job. If you have a labor-intensive job
then you should wait up to 10 days. No heavy lifting or bending over regardless
of your type of employment. Just be careful not to raise your blood pressure
or pulse in the first 3 weeks.
The results are immediate with either type of
implant although you must wait for the swelling to subside to fully appreciate
the end result. Whomever said patience is a virtue never had a cosmetic
surgery procedure.
Although extremely rare, it is
possible to bleed post-operatively resulting in another surgery to control and
drain the collected blood. You could develop a post-operative infection and
need to have the implant removed, the infection dealt with and still have to
wait for several months before an additional surgery can be performed to
re-implant. Loss of sensitivity is common, although temporary. Permanent
sensation loss in general, can and may happen. There is also the possibility of
developing a Seroma which is a mass caused by the accumulation of serum
fluid within a tissue or organ. Or a Hematoma which is a localized mass
of blood that is typically confined within an organ, tissue, space, or potential
space and may be a result from a broken blood vessel. There is the possibility
of shifting of the implant, leading to additional surgeries or pain. There is
also the possibility of a negative reaction to the anesthetic.
Pectoral Implants are supposed to last your
lifetime, but sometimes infection rears its ugly head and your implants must be
removed, your infection dealt with and then and only then can discussions be
made about re-implantation. The implant itself should last indefinitely without
degradation. Although, that can not be said for sure as the pectoral implant is
not at least 80 years old. But, in theory and in tests involving silicone --
the material will last a very long time for its indication.
