OVERVIEW
Understanding Bicep and Tricep Implants
Add targeted upper-arm volume and definition with a personalized surgical approach.
Some people have very little natural muscle mass, which means that even if you spend hours on end at the gym, you may never actually be able to develop the kind of defined, muscular arms that you long for.
Luckily, you can still get those great-looking arms with bicep and tricep Implants. Bicep and tricep implants may be used to increase the muscular definition that your arms naturally lack.
The upper arm muscles endure a tremendous amount of stress during everyday activities, such as lifting, carrying things, pushing and pulling, and various contraction types in different positions.
For this reason, implants placed in the bicep or tricep area must be properly anchored to prevent shifting or movement in the future, as the area is subjected regularly to intensive movement.
Your best bet is to have the surgery performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon, such as Dr. Olga Bachilo at Glamour Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in Houston, a plastic surgeon with an excellent track record performing muscle implant procedures on both male and female patients.
Purpose
What Can Bicep and Tricep Implants Improve?
Add targeted upper-arm volume when exercise alone is not enough.
Muscle implants such as bicep or tricep implants enhance the biceps or triceps when they have very little natural muscle mass. The implants are positioned underneath the natural muscle to add volume and firmness, making the arm muscles look more defined and toned.
Solid silicone gel implants were originally designed as functional enhancements for reconstructive surgeries performed on patients with insufficient muscle mass due to an injury, previous surgery, or medical condition. Today, while limb and muscle implants are still used in reconstructive procedures, they have gained widespread popularity in cosmetic applications.
Will Bicep/Tricep Implants Make My Arms Look More Muscular?
Yes. Because the implants are shaped like your natural muscle and positioned underneath the muscle to exalt and emphasize your muscle’s natural shape, the procedure will make your arm look more muscular and defined. Once you have fully healed from the procedure, you may expect to see as much as a one-inch increase in the upper arm’s circumference after an implant procedure, depending on the implant’s size and shape that you and your surgeon opt for.
Procedure
How Are Bicep and Tricep Implants Placed?
Typically, a small incision is made in the axilla or armpit, through which the surgeon creates a pocket between the bone and muscle. The implant is then inserted in that pocket and anchored to the muscle lining with absorbable sutures. A few stitches are required to seal the incision.
Recovery
How Long Is the Recovery Period After the Bicep or Tricep Implant Surgery?
Because the arms are used so frequently, and so much pressure is exerted on the biceps and triceps, it may take a while for you to heal completely from this procedure, although most patients can return to work after a week or so.
Full recovery can actually take as long as three to four months because the area will remain somewhat swollen and sore as the muscles adapt to their new shape and the skin stretches to accommodate the added mass.
It would be best to refrain from heavy lifting, contact sports, weight training, or other strenuous exercise involving the arms during this period.
