Pectoral Implants in Houston, TX

Pectoral augmentation is a surgical cosmetic procedure that enhances the size and tone of the pectoral muscles, giving your chest the contour and definition that you desire by means of silicone chest implants that look and feel like natural muscles. Pectoral implants are inserted via tiny hairline incisions located around your nipple or in your armpit.  These tiny incisions allow the surgeon to create a pocket or sheath for the implant in between the fascia and muscle tissue.  The implants are secured in that pocket, underneath the skin and connective tissue of your chest, and on top of your natural chest muscles, using self-dissolving stitches. Each implant provides increased size, tone, and definition in your pectoral muscles.

Dr. Bachilo uses silicone implants that feel like naturally firm muscle tissue. These implants are hard enough to maintain their natural shape, yet soft and pliable enough to look and feel like a natural muscle. Dr. Bachilo carefully selects each silicone implant to create the size and contour you desire in your chest.

Most muscle augmentation surgeries such as the insertion of pectoral implants take about an hour or two to perform, but you will need someone to drive you home after the procedure because you may still be under the effect of the general anesthesia.  You may need some help around the house in the first few days following the surgery so that you don’t impact the healing process by stretching beyond your recommended limit which could cause the implant to shift or dislodge from its position.  You may be instructed to wear a compression garment to optimize healing and help your body adjust to its new contour. Most patients are able to resume light exercise after two to seven days, and you may return to your normal physical activities in about four to six weeks.
