Should I Get Fat Transfer or Pectoral Implants?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Hello, I had gynecomastia surgery done about five years ago and I’ve had a hard time building a to find chest and I am looking into getting large custom implants and I’m curious on pricing and what the best method is if it’s a mixture of implants and fat transfer or what but will attach a photo of current body and what I’m wanting to achieve.

A: Thank you for your inquiry and sending your pictures to which I can make the following comments;

1) Besides the fact that fat transfer is never a good method for male chest enhancement, you do not have enough fat to even consider that as an option.

2) The imaged results that you were showing can only be achieved by pectoral implants of which the size and shape would likely have to be custom given the images that you have shown. The size of the implants you are showing do not really require a custom design as that is not a particularly large petrol implant augmentation effect in my experience. But it is the shape that makes custom necessary as the width versus height, and the thickness from the sternum out to the lateral pectoral border is not what any standard implant is designed to do.
