Pectoral prosthesis surgery
The pectoral prosthesis surgery at Clínica Sanza in Barcelona, Spain, consists of placing a prosthesis in the area of the pectorals, whose material does not cause immune reaction and integrates to the tissues naturally.
WHERE DO WE OPERATE?
At Clínica Sanza we rely on the Sagrat Cor Hospital, part of the Quirónsalud group, to perform our surgical procedures.
Its prestige, facilities, medical and healthcare staff, as well as its technology are a guarantee.
PATIENT’S PROFILE
Men who want to quickly and effectively increase the chest area.
People with pectoral malformations such as Poland’s syndrome or similar.
PROCEDURE
After a first evaluation, the type of prosthesis and the volume that best fits the patient’s wishes will be defined.
The implant is placed through the axilla in a retromuscular position. Once the implant is placed, the incision is sutured and drains are placed, which are removed after one or two days.
