Healing the body and keeping it in shape is not an easy task. Even the good food and the gym can not leave the body as you wish, and that is why men have also sought the help of the scalpel. Much is said about the use of silicone in women, but the truth is that the male universe is also full of opportunities to benefit from implants.

"They learn not to be afraid of needles and social prejudices about being vain, they stick to the silicone prosthesis to enlarge the breastplate, the calf and the gluteal muscle," says Arnaldo Korn, director of the National Center – Plastic Surgery. The truth is that in addition to laziness, entering a gym and seeing the results immediately is very complicated. The process is long, too time-consuming for the male rush.

"Many people complain that they can not get muscle mass in these parts of the body, such as the chest, and therefore opt for the implant on the chest so that muscles look very good," explains the director. In addition to the thorax, there are other plastic surgeries that are most often requested for calf and buttocks. In the calf, the implant also serves for the correction of thin legs and has 10 different sizes of silicone prosthesis. And in the buttock gap serves to reverse and to turn the contours. That is, everything to enlarge and shape the body.

This type of operation should only be done after the age of 18, since it is from that age that the hormonal part of the male is in balance, the osteomuscular structures and the skin are fully developed. It is usually done through an incision in the skin and the prosthesis is placed under the muscle, requiring epidural or general anesthesia and after 24 hours the patient is discharged. The return to normal activities must take place between 7 or 15 days, depending on the operation and each case.

With silicone implants on the chest, rest is essential in the first week and cutting under the armpit is not visible because the stitches can be absorbed. For men who dream of having the perfect body in a more accelerated way that goes beyond the gym and bodybuilding, the National Center – Plastic Surgery acts as a mediator between the surgeon and the patient in the administrative and financial part, to help when negotiating the payment of an operation.
