Can Men Get Breast Implants?

Thank you for your question.Yes, men can get breast implants.  You should have your #breast #augmentation
performed by a #boardcertified plastic surgeon who specializes in cosmetic surgery to greatly
improve your chances of getting the result you want without the need for a
revision surgery. Select a plastic surgeon with a great deal of experience with breast augmentation and
the incision type, implant placement, and #implant type. Aside from checking board-certification, it
is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual
patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help
you make a well-informed decision.

It’s not
unusual for transgender patients to request breast augmentation surgery.When this situation arises, the operation can
be performed successfully with high levels of patient satisfaction.Many similarities exist between transgender
and female breast augmentation patients, but important differences exist, as
well.These differences are related to the
type of preoperative evaluations that are necessary and important anatomic
differences that exist between the two groups.The preoperative evaluation of
transgender patients involves several important considerations.It’s important that transgender patients be
in a supervised transgender program that follows an organized algorithm.This type of program provides important
psychological support and hormonal therapy in the preoperative period.When this program’s specified criteria are met,
it’s reasonable to proceed with breast augmentation.Several important anatomic issues
must be considered in transgender patients.Transgender patients often have broader chest walls than female patients
and, for this reason, often require larger implants.In some cases, the pectoralis muscle may be
large and bulky and, for this reason, subglandular implant placement may be
necessary, as well.If you’re considering breast
augmentation, consultation with a Board-certified plastic surgeon is
appropriate.This surgeon should be able
to formulate an appropriate treatment plan for you.

As suggested by the previous postings, men can get implants but they are stiffer and more shaped pectoral implants.  The firmness and shape give more of a muscular look as compared to the soft look and feel of traditional breast implants.

I hope that helps!

Yes, there are implants for men to enhance their chest.  The pec implants are placed similarly to breast implants, but results in a more masculine look.  Placing a regular breast implants may results in a feminizing look.

 

Good luck.

Yes, men can get implants. If you are just looking for a more masculine chest you should go with pectoral implants. If you want a feminine look then regular implants would be best.

Thank you for the question.


Yes,  men can get “breast implants”.  I've seen several men with your requests achieve their goals. Every patient's situation is different. It will be important to have an honest/open dialog with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon.






Best wishes.

I fyou mean pectoralis implants, yes they are available for men but they are differnet from female implants. They are a solid  silicone

Thanks for the question.

To answer your question, in short, yes. I would need more information to delineate the type of "look" you're attemtping to achieve before commenting any further. I recommend following up with a board certified plastic surgeon who is versed in male breast implantation. 

Best of luck,

You did not explain the reason for getting the implants. This is an unusual request unless you are at the process of the sex change or you meant Pectoral implants for the chest enhancement rather than the Breast enhancement. Please provide more information and pictures.

Yes, but be sure you fully understand the risk/benefit of this idea. If you want to fill out a concavity or look more feminine must be determined. From MIAMI Dr. darryl j. Blinski
