About Bicep Implant Surgery

Bicep implant Surgery is a cosmetic procedure generally performed on men, but can be performed on women as well. Bicep implants are performed to increase the mass of the upper arms. Usually people try exercise to reshape the biceps but are not always successful. In these circumstances the best option is to undergo a bicep implant surgery. Bicep implant surgery helps the patient to achieve larger and more defined muscles in the arm.

Bicep Implant Surgery Procedure

The procedure is done using local anesthesia. The procedure will start with the surgeon making an incision in the crease of the armpit. A pocket is then created for the implants to be placed into. The bicep implants are then inserted from the incisions into the pockets made and positioned within the soft tissue. Once the implants are positioned the incisions are closed with sutures. The patients are advised to wear compression garments to reduce the risk of infection and swelling. The surgery will take up to 2 hours to perform.
