After the Male Pectoral implant surgery has healed, can you feel the implant ???

Question

I am curious if after it has healed if you can feel and if it obvious? I am look for a male pec implant that give projection but is soft not too solid. Is this possible?

Stanley Okoro, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question. The solid silicone implant is not has hard as bone, nor as soft as gel implants. Patients often say the implants feel like they are flexing their own muscle. Make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck

Hello, the implant is placed under the muscle however depending on how much soft tissue coverage you have the implant can be felt. If you are quite thin it can be felt. The implants are firm but not hard in nature. Thank for your question.

You may be able to feel your implants, but when performed correctly it should look pretty natural and not feel obvious.

As a bodybuilder, I see quite
 a few patients who want some form of implant enlargement for a 
particular lagging muscle group.  The placement of pectoral implants 
usually involves customizing existing implants to fit the contours of 
each patient to produce a natural look that fits chest wall and 
pectoralis dimensions. It is still possible to feel the implant, but tapering of the edges prevents palpable irregularities.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Male pectoral implants are fairly soft, although not as soft as female breast implants. How hard your chest feels after the surgery varies to some extent depending on how much of your own breast tissue there is covering the implant. The more tissue you have, the softer it will feel overall. If someone feels your chest looking for an implant, they may be able to feel it. With that being said, most men are quite happy after the surgery.
