Body Implant Procedures

Body implants have been an important part of orthopedic surgery for roughly one hundred years and are becoming increasingly popular among cosmetic surgery patients. Body implants can be used to safely enhance the appearance of the buttocks, pectorals, biceps, or calves. Body implants are typically made from a firm, rubberized, FDA-approved silicone gel and are available in a variety of sizes and shapes. The following is an overview of some of the most common body implants.

Butt Implants

Buttock augmentation involves the insertion of butt implants to enhance the shape, size, and appearance of the rear end. Butt implants can be used to add curves and definition to the buttocks, in women and men alike. Some butt implant patients feel their buttocks lack shape, while others want to have a more sensuous rear end by making it fuller or larger. Learn more about butt implants.

Pec Implants

Pectoral implants may be an excellent option for men who, even though they exercise frequently, wish to further shape or enhance their chests for the defined, muscular appearance they desire. Pec implants shape, enlarge, and firm the chest muscles. Pectoral body implants help patients achieve the appearance they desire while still allowing for a natural feel and appearance.

Bicep Implants

Bicep implants are used to create muscular definition and increased bulk in patients’ arms. These implants can be useful for both men and women who are unable to achieve the upper arm toning they desire, even after extensive muscular conditioning. Not only can bicep implants improve the appearance of the arms, but they can also bring the entire upper body into better proportion. Learn more about bicep implants.

Calf Implants

Calf augmentation through the insertion of implants is an excellent option for patients who are dissatisfied with the shape or size of their calf muscles. By and large, men and women choose to undergo calf augmentation for very different reasons. Men more often than not want to emphasize bulk and muscle while women typically seek balance and proportionality. Learn more about calf implants.
