About Pectoral Implants
Pectoral muscles, or “pecs,” are the visible muscles within the chest. For some men or parts of society, the pecs can represent masculinity. Even with a healthy diet or a regular exercise routine, some men have difficulty defining their chest muscles. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as age, genetics, injury, or a birth defect. However, Dr. Angelo Cuzalina is proud to offer pectoral implants, which increase the volume and contour of the pectoral muscles. With years of experience, triple board-certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Cuzalina has a precise and artistic technique when it comes to placing pectoral implants. Please call Tulsa Surgical Arts in Tulsa, OK to schedule an appointment and learn more about this innovative procedure.

Who Is a Candidate for Pectoral Implants?
If you want to undergo pectoral implant surgery, patients should be in good shape and prefer to enhance the appearance of their upper chest. This treatment is ideal for incredibly athletic patients, like bodybuilders. If you want to contour the appearance of your pecs, this treatment can help you achieve your goals. Additionally, for patients who have difficulty gaining pectoral muscle definition because of a birth defect, significant weight loss, injury, or a medical condition, this treatment can also address those issues.
Pectoral Implants Procedure Technique
Dr. Cuzalina performs pectoral surgery with general anesthesia, which helps you remain comfortable. After administering anesthesia, we make a small incision within your armpit and create a surgical pouch inside the pectoral muscle. Next, he carefully places the implant to enhance the appearance of your pectoral muscle. Prior to your surgery, we will discuss the different types of implants and select the best one for you. Once he has finished inserting the implant, your incision is closed with sutures, and our team will monitor you in the recovery area.
What to Expect with Pectoral Implants
After your pectoral augmentation, you can go home to recover on the same day. If you traveled from out of town, you may prefer our overnight guest suite, which takes the stress of trying to travel home or perform activities, such as changing bandages or going to the restroom by yourself. You will experience some soreness for the next couple of weeks, but over-the-counter medication and cold compresses can help reduce discomfort. In about a week, you can restart your normal activities. Please contact Tulsa Surgical Arts if you have any questions or severe symptoms, such as fever or breathing problems.
