Male chest correction. Pectoral implants and gynecomastia.
Implants have been developed in different sizes and shapes to mimic the pectoralis major muscle and its nipple-areolar complex below it. These soft, solid silicone implants have the approximate dimensions in height, length, and thickness as the muscle the implant is to mimic. Some improvements in the treatment of breast hypertrophy have also allowed a better result in the surgery of gynecomastia. The challenge of obtaining a smooth and flat result has been helped by the technique of liposuction with circum-areolar excision.
