That means you\u2019ll need someone to pick you up and drive you home when the procedure is finished.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not able to work from home, it\u2019s generally recommended that you take 1 to 2 weeks off from work afterward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-0\">\n<div><a name=\"procedure\"><\/a>Pec implant procedure<\/div>\n<p>This surgery focuses on your upper chest where your pectoral muscles are, right over your breastbone.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0pectoralis major\u00a0is a fan-shaped muscle that overlaps the tissue over your heart and part of your rib cage and extends back toward your armpit.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pre-surgery_prep\"><\/span>Pre-surgery prep<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Your chest area will be shaved as you enter the operating room.

Your doctor will then close the incision with small stitches, doing so in a way that\u2019ll minimize visible scarring.<\/p>\n<p>The entire procedure should only take between 1 and 2 hours.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll then go to a recovery room as the effects of the anesthesia wear off.

Long-term recovery times, however, will vary according to your specific health factors.<\/p>\n<p>You may have to wait several months to be able to resume weight lifting and strenuous upper-body workouts. Ask your surgeon what to expect as far as longer-term recovery and follow their instructions.<\/p>\n<p>Pec implants are meant to last about 10 years. After that time, you\u2019ll need to have a consultation with your doctor about having it removed or replaced.<\/p>\n<div id=\"hl-incontent-video-ad\" class=\"css-1sxbpyw\" data-adbridg-ad-class=\"hl-incontent\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-0\">\n<div><a name=\"possible-complications\"><\/a>Potential complications from pec implants<\/div>\n<p>Like every type of surgery, pec implants can result in complications.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Infection\"><\/span>Infection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Infection can happen in the initial 30 days after your surgery.

Another procedure that can be performed is fat grafting to your chest and pectoralis muscle.<\/p>\n<p>In this procedure, liposuction is performed on another part of your body as well as below and to the sides of your pectoralis muscle to make your pecs appear more defined.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the removed fat is injected below the skin of your pectoralis muscle area as well as into the muscle itself to increase the size.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the fat does melt away, so you may need up to three fat grafting procedures to obtain the desired size. These procedures are usually several months apart.<\/p>\n<div><a name=\"takeaway\"><\/a>Takeaway<\/div>\n<p>Pec implants are a fairly common surgery and have been performed regularly for decades. People get pec implants for a variety of reasons, including as reconstructive and gender-affirming surgeries.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re in good health and aren\u2019t prone to keloid scarring, your chances of having a successful pec implant surgery are high. Recovery takes about 2 weeks, and you\u2019ll need to be cleared by your doctor before you resume working out.<\/p>\n<p>If you have unrealistic expectations of what this surgery can do or if you have\u00a0muscle dysmorphia, it\u2019s possible that you won\u2019t be pleased with the results of your procedure.<\/p>\n<p>Be open and honest with your provider about the look you hope to achieve, and do your research before choosing a cosmetic surgeon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6413,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[235,4402,726,4403,4401],"class_list":["post-6412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cosmetic-plastic-surgery","tag-augmentation","tag-complete","tag-implants","tag-pec","tag-reasons"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
