A New Anatomical Approach to Male Pectoral Volumization

Area of Science:

• Plastic Surgery
• Regenerative Medicine
• Ultrasound Technology

Background:

• Pectoralis major muscle volumization is a growing area in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.
• Existing techniques may have limitations in achieving significant volume enhancement.
• A novel approach utilizing ultrasound-guided fat grafting is explored.

Purpose of the Study:

• To introduce and evaluate a new technique for pectoralis major muscle volumization.
• To assess the feasibility of achieving larger volumes using a modified surgical criterion.
• To analyze short-term outcomes of ultrasound-guided fat grafting for pectoral enhancement.

Main Methods:

• Retrospective observational descriptive study of male patients undergoing body contouring.
• Inclusion of patients who underwent pectoralis major volumization via fat grafting (2022-2023).
• Pre-operative, immediate post-operative, and 3-month post-operative measurements of muscle depth; statistical analysis using SPSS.

Main Results:

• Statistically significant differences in pectoralis major muscle depth were observed at all measurement points (P = 0.001).
• The technique demonstrated an increase in muscle thickness and volume at 3 months post-procedure.
• No adverse events were reported during the study period.

Conclusions:

• Ultrasound-guided fat grafting is an effective technique for pectoralis major muscle volumization.
• The described surgical approach allows for increased muscle thickness and volume.
• Long-term follow-up is necessary to confirm sustained results and safety.
