Male Pectoral Augmentation Implants Bellevue

Conveniently located to serve Seattle and Bellevue

Pectoral augmentation is performed using solid silicone implants. Fat transfer to the chest does not work well however fat transfer may help with isolated deformities of the chest wall. Pectoral implants will not increase the strength of the muscle or alter the function of the muscle.

Pectoral Muscle Anatomy

There are two pectoral muscles the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor. Pectoralis major is the outer fan-shaped muscle which makes up most of the chest muscle. This muscle that plastic surgeons are concerned with mostly. It lies under the breast. It attaches to clavicle and sternum above and inserts onto the humerus bone near the shoulder. The Pectoralis minor is located beneath the pectoralis major and is not significant in pectoral implant placement.

Pectoral Augmentation Surgery

The procedure is performed by a transaxillary route. Which means the incision is located in the armpit area. This is well hidden and no incisions are on the chest itself. The pocket is created in the subpectoral plane. The implant is placed under the pectoralis major muscle and above the ribs. Similar to placement of a subpectoral breast implant. However, unlike a breast implant in which the lower pectoral muscle attachments may be released, in the pectoral implant placement these attachments are left intact. Pectoral implants come in different sizes and shapes. They can also be hand carved to fit certain areas.

It is important to see a surgeon with knowledge of the anatomy of the area. All of this can affect your results and safety. At the time of your consultation Dr. Parikh can go over in detail with you regarding the anatomy of the area and different techniques used.

Reviews

 
Dr. Rikesh is absolutely amazing! He has an amazing personality and is very kind! I felt very comfortable with him and sharing my issues with him. If I needed to talk to him, he would bend over backwards to talk to me and answer all the questions and concerns I had. I was privileged to have had Dr. Rikesh as my surgeon. He listened to everything I wanted and took very good care of me. The results are amazing! My experience with him was wonderful and I recommend him to all my friends and family! J.L.
