BODY IMPLANTS
Body implants are used in muscular enhancement employing silicone implants or fat transfer, and most commonly include butt implants, calf implants, and pec implants. Traditionally, muscle implants have been used to surgically build-out a deficient portion of the musculature of one's anatomy by improving the size, shape, or definition of existing muscle groups caused by congenital defect, trauma, or for personal desire to better one's self-esteem and confidence.
Body implants are utilized for purely cosmetic/aesthetic reasons and for functional issues. Aesthetic usage, on the other hand, may occur when there are issues with self-esteem, personal preference, or confidence. In the latter application, patients may need calf implants, pec implants, deltoid implants and bicep/tricep implants to address genetic or injury-related problems to deal with debilitating congenital or reconstructive issues.
- Pec Implants (Pectoral Augmentation)
A cosmetic surgery procedure to increase the appearance of the size and shape of a man's pectoral muscles.
commonly referred to as breast implants for men, male chest implants, or pectoral implants, this procedure has seen a dramatic rise in demand the last year. Pec implants will enhance the appearance, size and muscular definition of pectoral muscles in men and is also frequently used to correct pre-existing congenital and physical defects.
Who Are The Best Candidates?
Even with frequent exercise, men sometimes find that they are still unable to achieve the chest development that they desire. Pectoral implants shape, enlarge, and firm the chest muscles, helping one attain the look they want while still allowing a natural appearance when the pectoral muscles are either flexed or relaxed.
About the Procedure and Recovery Time:
An incision is made high in the armpit and a pocket is made beneath the chest muscle and on top of the ribs A soft, solid silicone implant is cut to specifically fit each patient and inserted into the pocket. A very small dressing is placed under the arms and the patient can typically see the change immediately after surgery.
During the recovery period, the patient is instructed not to lift their arms for two days after surgery. Dressings are then removed followed by a gentle exercise program within 1-2 weeks to enable a full and comfortable range of motion of the arms. Generally within a week or two, physical use of the upper body muscles may be resumed and within one month, full pectoral muscular activity may be recommenced.
- Bicep & Tricep Implants (Bicep & Tricep Augmentation)
A cosmetic procedure that creates muscular definition and increased mass/fullness in the upper arm area. This procedure is specifically useful for those men and women who, even after extensive muscular conditioning, or injury, can't achieve the upper arm toning they desire.
Who Are The Best Candidates?
Bicep and Tricep implants can create muscular definition and increased mass/fullness in the upper arm area. This procedure is specifically useful for those men and women who, even after extensive muscular conditioning, can't achieve the upper arm toning they desire. Bicep Implants and Tricep Implants are also recommended for those unique instances when an injury has occurred and muscle mass augmentation is needed to achieve normal balance.

- Deltoid Implants—Shoulder Implants (Deltoid Augmentation)
Deltoid implants are used for correcting unilateral (one side) congenital shoulder deformities (Sprengel's Deformity), reconstruction of the shoulder caused by trauma or injury, or for improving the aesthetic definition of the deltoid muscle group, a triangular oriented muscle, helping to emphasizing the appearance of the shoulder region.
Who are the best candidates?
Anyone who needs to correct trauma (injury) or congenital disorders (such as Sprengel's Deformity, Polio, etc.), or wishes to build definition or mass in the deltoid muscle group (shoulders).
Men and women seek deltoid implants for different reasons and are used for both aesthetic (cosmetic) and functional (reconstructive) medical issues.
- Cosmetic Hip Implants & Thigh Implants
If you're a woman who has desired at some time or another, a body line with more curves in the "right places," then, you're not alone. Those bathing suits, evening gowns, or simply a nice shirt and jeans can often look even better on a woman with the right figure. And sadly, genetics or even rigorous exercise routines sometimes don't help. Yes, diet and exercise are always a part of good lifestyle, but now you can get some additional aid when it comes to getting that hourglass figure . . . cosmetic hip implants are here.
What Are They And What Do They Do?
Cosmetic hip implants and thigh implants can be considered, depending on placement in the body, as being one and the same. They are flat, silicone slices that are placed under the skin and substructures that will provide, after healing, a more visible curvaceous outward appearance in the pelvic and lower pelvic areas. They are used to enhance this region of one's physique.
Who Would Be A Candidate For Cosmetic Hip Implants?
They are commonly used by individuals who are deficient in terms of outward body line, in the areas of the hip, buttock and thigh areas. Many women are born with angular, more muscular athletic lines and some may wish to migrate to a softer curvature. People who have undergone sexual reassignment surgery also are candidates. Asian women, because of their lithe body line sometimes are candidates for cosmetic hip implants.
What Can I Expect During Recovery?
The Cosmetic Hip Implant procedure is relatively safe compared to more invasive surgeries such as buttock implants or calf implants. Because there are few nerves in the surgical area, and it is relatively free from secondary veins or arteries and the implants themselves are not placed deeply in the tissue, there is not much chance of complications. You will have to wear a compression garment for one month, and no strenuous activity during the same period. You may return to normal walking the next day after surgery and light exercise in two weeks.
