Pectoral Etching

Pectoral etching is a cosmetic procedure that uses liposuction to reshape excess breast tissue to give men a firmer and more toned-looking chest.

Overview

For many men, having well-defined pectoral muscles is a goal that sometimes cannot be acheived even after spending hours in the gym. Their desire to have additional shape and definition often leads them into the hands of a plastic surgeon. We help men gain confidence through pectoral etching surgery. Similar to abdominal etching, it uses liposuction to remove excess tissue from the breasts, but leaves a modest pad of fat to contrast the existing muscle. The best candidates for pectoral etching are men who cannot achieve their desired chest size with diet and exercise alone, or those who have a sagging chest or deflated chest from advanced aging.

DURING – AFTER SURGERY

İt is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia at a hospital. The surgeon uses a small, tube-like device, called a cannula, to remove excess fat, and create a more visible definition of the pectoral muscles. The procedure can last between 1 and 2 hours. Following the surgery, patients are required to wear a compression garment for 2 week to reduce bruising and swelling. Most patients return to work within 1 week of surgery. Routine exercise should be avoided for several weeks until the bruising and swelling has subsided.

FAQ

IMPLANTS ?

Yes, some men choose the option to have pectoral implants. If patients do not have enough excess fat to sculpt, they have the option to receive pectoral implants. Patients can talk to the surgeon during the consultation to decide whether liposuction or implants are the best option.

COMBINE WITH OTHER PROCEDURES ?

İts can be combined with other cosmetic procedures. Most men decide to combine pectoral and abdominal etching surgery to define their chest and abs. However, combining pectoral etching with other procedures will increase the cost of the surgery.

CAN I WORK OUT ?

Patients can return to routine exercise 2-3 weeks after surgery. Incisions in the chest need time to heal so bruising and swelling can subside. Wearing a compression garment can help speed up the recovery process.
