Pectoral implants in India
Quick answer
Pectoral implants are solid silicone implants placed under the chest muscle to make a man's chest look fuller. They also correct chest asymmetry such as Poland syndrome. Plan about 10 days in India.

At a glance
Some men cannot build chest muscle despite training, and some have a missing or small muscle on one side.
The implant is inserted through a cut in the armpit and placed under the pectoralis major muscle. This gives a firm, natural look.
How this approach differs
Plan about 10 days. Arm movements are limited for the first weeks, and upper-body training waits for six weeks or more. A compression vest may be worn. Bring easy-on clothing for the flight because lifting arms is uncomfortable at first.
