What is male breast enlargement?
Male breast enhancement—or male chest enhancement or pectoral implants—is a cosmetic procedure to create a more masculine, defined-looking chest. It can help you if you would like a strong-looking chest, but have not been able to achieve one despite working out regularly.

Can male breast enhancement help my gynecomastia?
No. Gynecomastia (the development of breast tissue) should be dealt with by removing fat and breast tissue, not by inserting pectoral implants. However, pectoral implants can be inserted after fat and breast tissue have been removed.

What are pectoral implants made of?
Pectoral implants are made of solid silicone, a flexible and inert substance that has been used in medicine for decades. Because the implants are solid, they cannot leak or rupture.

I have an uneven chest. Can I get just one pectoral implant?
Pectoral implants can be used to correct a deformity of the chest. Some men may need only one implant to correct an asymmetrical chest, while others might benefit from having two implants of different shapes or sizes.

Where are the scars for pectoral implants?
Most surgeons make short incisions in the armpit. The implants are then inserted through these incisions and under the pectoral muscles. The incisions are usually unnoticeable after they heal.
