Are Large Custom Pec Implants More Problematic Than Smaller Ones?

User Avatar
ImprovingtheUSMaleMay 19, 2013

I am a 6', 235 lb bodybuilder that would like pec implants. I have a large frame and the largest size made would just disappear in my pecs. I see so many Before and After shots of guys with pec implants and you can't see a difference! I am having a problem finding Dr's who do large custom pec implants.

As previously stated, Pectoral Implants would tend to accentuate  the mid sternal depression or defect of the pectus excavatum. It sounds like a custom sternal implant would be the most suitable correction, if a surgical correction of the bony sternum is out of the question. In doing...
