Can a cosmetic filler be used to give some volume to the inner and upper male chest? (Photos)

Question

Can a cosmetic filler be used to give some volume to the inner/ upper chest? I struggle to get any development in this area. I would prefer a non surgical solution with what’s available in Ireland/UK Eg. Sculptra etc

I find thatt fat does best there but sculptra +/-renuva can be used or an implant. I suggest seeing an expert very few people do this in the Us frequently.  We do this basically daily.  see link I attached of a recent case.
You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best.  Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring.  Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods.  The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring.  This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face.  Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra.  If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty).  Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.  Dr. Emer.

Sculptra could be used to add volume to the male chest but the treatment would require several sessions spaced over time to give gradual results.  These results would also not be permanent but could last a few years.

Hello jonesjett43:Fillers, preferably Sculptra can be used to enhance the chest area. In women, it can be used for chest lines in the décolletage. When considering how to enhance volume, one might wonder about Emsculpt. Emsculpt helps in body contouring and improving muscle strength by causing many thousands of supramaximal muscle contractions in a 20 to 30-minute treatment. It is helpful for the abdomen, arms, thighs and calves, and it’s causing, Emsella, is used for the pelvic floor, but is not used on the chest for the pectoral muscles because of the proximity to the heart. Seek a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon skilled in Sculptra injections.Best to you from New York City!Sheryl Clark MD FAAD

Only in males can Sculptra be used on the chest in order to enhance either the appearance of the chest or fill in the hollows of the chest. Make sure you find a plastic surgeon with lots of experience in administration of Sculptra. You may have to wait 3 to 4 months for the full result. Remember that additional touch-up injections may be necessary. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery
