A number of years ago I had an operation for pectus carinatum, this greatly improved the look of my chest but I am lacking muscle in the middle of the chest. I'd like to improve this and so am wondering if pec implants would work in this situation given I'm more so trying to target the middle of the chest. I have been told I am unable to do a fat transfer as I don't have enough fat.
I am a 49 y/o male missing a portion of my right pec. I have had several consults throughout the years about corrective surgery. Lat transfer, fat grafting and custom implant (mold in office). I have read mixed reviews on each. I have only seen a handful of pictures of corrective surgeries online. The one with best symmetry was from a lat transfer on a young male. i have read high pt satisfaction (90% good or excellent) with the CAD 3D custom implants in France. Which gives best symmetry?
In three weeks, Ill be getting pec and bicep implants. Theyll be inserted through incisions in my underarms. Do I have to remove hair from my underarms, or anywhere else, before this surgery? Or is it done for me intraoperatively? Conflicting info online. Of course, I first asked this question to my surgeon's office, but couldn't get a definitive answer from the staff member I was able to get in touch with. Many thanks for any clarification!
Today I had a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, and he adviced me that if I get pec implants I am completely forbidden to do any sort of chest excersize, chest workout, or any strenuous activity involving my chest muscles ever again. I just wanted to confirm this, I've tried to do a lot of research but have only found general answers stating that I can resume excersize within 6 months. Thank you !
Hi, I'm hoping to obtain some valuable feedback from some of the Plastic Surgeon experts in the industry. I am going to get pec implants regardless, however, there is a TON of shoddy work with this procedure specifically. Some of the Before & After pictures are wildly off. Having said that, what sizing should I go with that will safely fit my 5'11, 175 pound frame that will ALSO turn heads? I have attached a pic of my current chest situation and the examples I am looking 4. T.Y
Since my pec implant surgery in 2017 every couple of months I always get a pinch and stinging pain deep in my l armpit where the edge of the implant painful touch.
