To give volume and reshape too thin calves, arms or male pectorals , surgery can be the safest way compared to the use of injectable substances but dangerous to health. From this point of view, for years prostheses have been developed that allow to give volume to the muscles giving a natural appearance, exactly what you would have after months of targeted training. In the United States it has been a real trend for years : men have their calves and biceps enlarged, but also their pectorals and even buttocks, thanks to surgery. These are prostheses that are placed in the submuscular layer, weighing about 100/200 grams depending on the area to be treated, and of a material similar to an adaptive gel that little by little will follow the formula of the muscle, giving an increasingly natural result over time. This kind of operations for the insertion of muscular implants is not very invasive.
The operation is followed in day hospital and allows a quick recovery: the prostheses are inserted by making a short incision and creating a special pocket that contains them. Depending on the area , the incision will be made in such a way as not to leave noticeable scars , often following the natural lines of the skin. After the surgery, a few days’ rest is prescribed and swelling is normal and will disappear in the following weeks.  The muscular prostheses indicated in male surgery are safe for years: a new check for removal and replacement of the same can be followed even eight / ten years after the operation. Costs? Much depends on the type of intervention required: if the muscular implants are used to enlarge the calves, arms, buttocks or pectorals. However, the price is around 5/7 thousand euros as a minimum expense.
