Bicep and Tricep Implants
No matter how many bicep curls or tricep dips you do, your arms still may not adequately reflect your efforts. Fortunately, the gym is no longer the only way to tone up your arms. Tricep and bicep implants can do what these exercises can't, providing muscular definition and increased mass in your upper arms.
These soft silicone muscle implants come in various shapes and sizes and can be matched to fit your anatomy. Many people decide to have bicep and tricep implants placed at the same time, but this is not a requirement.
Both men and women may be candidates for tricep and bicep implants. Men may opt for this form of male Plastic surgery because their workouts are not having the desired effects on their bicep and tricep muscles. Women, too, may desire more sculpted upper arm muscles. To the rescue: tricep and bicep implants.
Bicep and Tricep Implants: The Surgery
The full tricep or bicep augmentation surgery takes approximately 80 minutes to perform. The procedure is performed using general anesthesia or local anesthesia with twilight sedation, so you are awake, but not fully aware.
To place bicep and tricep implants, your surgeon will make an incision in your upper arm or armpit. The goal with these incisions — and the resultant scars — is to make them as inconspicuous as possible. Your surgeon is then able to craft a “pocket” in which to insert the body implant. Once placed, the implant is secured under your bicep or tricep muscles.
Your surgeon will then place a dressing over the surgical site.
Bicep and Tricep Augmentation: Your Road to Recovery
There will likely be some moderate pain for the first two days after your tricep and bicep implant surgery. Your surgeon can prescribe some pain medications or recommend over-the-counter painkillers. Typically, you can resume all normal activity within four weeks.
The good news is that your results are instantaneous; however, you must keep the surgical sites covered for at least two weeks.
