Males Breast Augmentation

With a total of 280,401 Americans obtaining breast implants through breast augmentation surgery in 2003, it isn't surprising to learn that this total included a small proportion of males. Males breast implants are growing in popularity and they typically are sought after by individuals with alternative lifestyles. Most commonly, males breast augmentation appeal to these groups of people:

  • Cross dressers
  • Female impersonators
  • Gender benders
  • Male-to-female transsexuals

In addition to giving these groups better appearance and presentation by providing a more realistic look, male breast implants also appeal to individuals that work out extensively but are unable to develop the pectoral muscles that they want to obtain. More commonly known as pectoral augmentation or chest implants for men, this plastic surgery enables men to enlarge the appearance of their chest muscles (pectoralis muscles) with implants. Although these implants will enhance the bulk and projection of a patient's pectoral muscles, they do not improve the patient's chest definition.

Although pectoral implants are a subtle way for males to improve their physical appearance, many males are interested in males breast implants because they want to achieve the look of a woman. For Mark Lloyd, a male-to-female transsexual in Los Angeles, this has been a goal since he was sixteen. Although Mark had a naturally feminine body, he was unsatisfied with his appearance. Hoping to obtain a look similar to Britney Spears, Mark decided to look into the prospect of males breast augmentation.

After conducting extensive research, Mark decided that males breast implants would help him achieve the look he wanted. After receiving treatment from a prominent Los Angeles plastic surgeon, Mark was ecstatic about the final results. Now a common sight in Los Angeles cross dressing bars singing Oops I did it Again, Mark has found that he is more at peace with his life after undergoing male breast augmentation.

The techniques used in males breast augmentation mirrors the techniques used in female breast augmentation. Undergoing the same steps, males who obtain breast implants have the same amount of options available to them regarding size and shape. Considering the natural biological differences between a male body and a female body, the shapes and sizes of males breast implants often differ from female breast implants. However, the entire procedure is the same one used in female breast augmentation.

Despite its similarities, many plastic surgeons refuse to perform males breast augmentation. The reasons behind this are unclear, so it is important for interested males to clarify their gender when talking to plastic surgeons about this procedure.
