The amount of pain experienced varies from person to person, and depends on the method used. In general, pectoral implant procedures that use endoscopic surgery reduce bleeding and incision size. The amount of pain, therefore, may be less in endoscopic surgery.
Soreness, bruising and swelling are also common but should fade within a week or so. Scars will gradually fade over time, but in a small proportion of patients, there is a risk that scars may thicken and become more obvious. It is very important that you follow the advice of your practitioner carefully after an implant of any kind to help to improve the benefit of the procedure and reduce the risk of complications or side effects.

It will then be decided whether there is enough social, psychological, or physical benefit to be gained to justify surgery. Silicone pectoral implants, or implants of any kind placed behind muscles, will enlarge the bulk of those muscles, but will not improve their definition or muscly shape.
Movement and activity should not be restricted or made difficult after a full recovery. On the other hand, the silicone implants in no way add strength or power to the existing muscles. In some cases, implants can be combined with liposuction in order to create optimal results.
Body implants can make a considerable difference to people born with birth defects affecting muscle growth in certain areas of their body, or in people who have lost tissue owing to disease or injury.

If so, you will then be referred to an NHS cosmetic surgeon, who will book a consultation with you.
