While fat grafting to the female breast has been growing in popularity, chest enhancement with fat grafting is available to men as well.

Before Dr. Coleman ever placed fat into the breast of women in 1995, he performed successful fat transplants to the male chest to enhance shape and size of the pectoralis muscle.  These procedures were usually performed on men who were already muscular through weight training and diet, but had reached a plateau.  Not only can fat grafting to the pectoral muscle increase chest size, it can also improve definition of the inner and lower lines of the chest.

The donor fat is usually harvested from the patient’s lovehandles, flanks or abdomen and is transplanted to the chest muscles. Most people can return to work in a few days, and return to their gym routine between one and two weeks after surgery.  The patient will like the way they look a few days after the procedure, the bruising and swelling takes months to completely resolve.

This 29-year-old man (left) presents for enhancement of his chest, both enlargement and increased definition. He had considered the use of silicone implants, but felt that they gave fullness but not definition. One year after one fat grafting to the medial chest and lower chest he returned delighted with the enlargement and defined shape of his chest.
