What is Male Breast Augmentation?

Although breast augmentation is one of the most popular types of plastic surgery for women to undergo, male breast augmentation is significantly less popular. There are two main types of male breast augmentation. One is similar to female breast augmentation and the other is designed to create a more muscular appearance.

Men who engage in alternative lifestyles sometimes desire a breast augmentation procedure which will provide them with breasts similar in appearance to a woman’s breasts. Saline or silicone breast implants identical to the ones used in female breast augmentation will be used to create breasts of a larger size. Additionally, the surgeon may perform some reshaping of the existing breast tissue to create a more feminine appearance.

Another type of male breast augmentation is designed to create a more muscular and masculine appearance. This type of procedure typically uses solid silicone implants to enhance the pectoral muscles. Men who have difficulty developing a desired appearance through diet and exercise alone may turn to this type of male breast augmentation to achieve the desired appearance.
