Pectoral and biceps implants are a logical combination for male upper body augmentation and can be performed during the same operation in an appropriately selected patient. The advantages of combining them include: One anesthesia event One recovery period Better overall upper-body proportionality and contour enhancement Lower total cost compared with staging the procedures separately However, Read More…
Tricep implants are a type of cosmetic surgery designed to enhance the size and definition of the triceps muscle (the back of the upper arm). They’re less common than bicep or calf implants but are used in similar situations—usually when someone wants more arm volume or definition that hasn’t responded to exercise. What they are Read More…
Background: Augmentation of the bicep muscle is most successfully done with an implant. Such bicep implants can be placed in three different pocket locations, subfascial (on top of the muscle), submuscular (under the muscle) and partial submuscular. (inside the muscle) Each pocket location has its advantages and disadvantages but the main advantage of the deeper Read More…
Background: Arm implants is one surgical method to enhance the muscle appearance of the bicep and tricep muscles. There are various techniques in performing this surgery from implant selection, incisional access to pocket location. But regardless of the methods used implant complications can occur from infection to implant malposition. Bicep implant malpositions are the most Read More…
Background: Bicep implants are the primary method of aesthetic muscle augmentation of the arms. While there are tricep and forearm implants as well they are not done as frequently as that of the bicep muscle. There are different locations for the bicep implant placement and the incisional access to do so. Each has their own Read More…
While the best and most natural method of building up the upper arm is with exercise, this can be bypassed by surgical means. Fat injection grafting is one such approach but this often does not survive the transplantation process. And even if it does it does not create an enhanced muscular appearance but just generalized Read More…
Background: A muscular appearing upper body has long been a desired physical appearance for men. This is evidenced by the large number of physical fitness and training centers that exist as well as gym and workout equipment sold every year. With the proper amount of time and sustained effort, most muscles can be enlarged. Such Read More…
Muscle enhancement of the body with implants has a far shorter surgical history than that of facial augmentation. Pectoral and calf implants are the most recognizable body implants to enhance muscular size and definition in men. But other body muscles can be synthetically augmented but because they are done in such few numbers, the public Read More…
Pectoral implants for male chest enhancement can be a very effective method for a visible change in the size and shape of the pectoralis muscle. Inserted in a completely submuscular position, they push outward on the entire muscle in a largely even distribution of volume. The implants are inserted through a high axillary incision which Read More…
Background: Most body implants are done for muscular enhancement. The only exception is that of the female breast implant. In augmenting the muscle size, it is usually most effective if the implant is placed on top of the muscle under its fascial lining. This is certainly true for muscular augmentations that are on the extremities Read More…
