Can Pectoral Implants Be Done In Older Men?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I am a 66 yr old male who has always been very thin and very limited in the pectoral muscle area. I have read that pec implants can be done on males. I would be interested in seeing if you feel I would be a viable candidate and if I would really be able to notice a difference. Thank you

A: Pectorals implant for chest enhancement has been done in males for almost 40 years so this is not a new aesthetic concept. What has changed over the years is the improved softness of the implant material and the different shapes and sizes that are available.

I am sure you would be a candidate as the only eliminating factor would be a patient who is opposed to implants.

There are many different sizes so the goal is to find what your upper limit of tolerance is for the chest size change which can be determined by in office sizing via sample placements.
