Pectoral Implants for Muscular Appearance
Many men find that even hours of hard work and exercise they cannot help them achieve the desired definition and muscularity in the chest area. Fortunately, they can rely on pectoral implants to build definition and a muscular appearance in the pectoral area.
Male pec implants have gained popularity due to their ability to give new contours to a man’s chest muscles. It involves placing solid silicone implants in the chest to enhance bulk and create an attractive masculine appearance. Men seek to have the surgery to address underdeveloped, asymmetrical, or otherwise deformed chest muscles due to malformations at birth or due to an accident. It is popular among men with genetic and physical flaws as well as among bodybuilders. One common question that patients ask their physician is when they can resume work and exercise after the pec implant procedure.
Similar to women who have breast implant surgery, men who have pectoral augmentation need to adhere to certain guidelines about getting back to work and exercise. Following male pectoral implants surgery, most patients are allowed to do light exercises, low-impact exercises that do not affect the chest muscles in about 4 to 6 weeks, while some may be allowed to do this even earlier. They are allowed to start light walking immediately after surgery – just short walks around the room or home every other hour to improve circulation and prevent blood clots. Patients will be advised to avoid more strenuous activity, especially upper body exercises, such as aerobic exercise and heavy lifting, for the first few weeks after the procedure. However, there is no general rule about when exactly you can resume your chest workout as surgeons’ opinions may differ based on individual cases. Most commonly, at six weeks, patients are generally completely healed and can resume all kinds of exercise.
Although there will be restrictions on exercise for the first few weeks, you need to keep in mind that it’s important to stick to a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise to maintain the results of your male pectoral implant procedure. Expert surgeons say that, in most cases, men can continue to enhance their pectoral muscles after the insertion of chest implants. The muscle is not cut or damaged as the implants are inserted between the major and minor pectoralis muscles. So the muscle continues to grow with routine exercise and workouts.
