Can I Get XL Pectoral Implants If I Have Poland’s Syndrome?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I am interested in XL male pectoral implants. I have Polands syndrome and missing the lower pectoral major muscle on one side. I would like to increase the size of both and correct for the Polands syndrome.

A: Thank you for sending your pictures. When you have Poland’s syndrome or significant lack of tissue development you do not have the option of also augmenting the opposite side of the chest if the goal is improved chest symmetry. It is hard enough to make the left side match the right side as it is now. Augmenting the right side as well as reconstructing the left side will only make the same chest asymmetry you have now only more magnified.
