Our trained experts at Male Plastic Surgery Chicago use bicep + tricep implants to augment a man’s appearance. These solid, silicone implants are safely placed in the upper anterior area of the arm, resulting in definition and volume that may not be achievable through diet and exercise alone. At Male Plastic Surgery in Chicago, men who struggle to add mass to their arms now have an effective way to add bulk and proportionality with bicep and tricep implants. Implants for the biceps or triceps come in various sizes and can be altered to meet the needs of each individual patient.
Bicep and Tricep Implants for Men in Chicago
For men who struggle to build upper-arm size despite consistent training, bicep and tricep implants in Chicago can provide lasting muscle definition, volume, and improved proportions. Unlike temporary enhancement methods, male arm implants are selected and positioned according to each patient’s existing anatomy and desired physique, helping create definition that complements the shoulders, chest, and overall upper body.

How Natural Do Bicep and Tricep Implants Look?
Bicep and tricep implants are designed to enhance the existing shape of the upper arm rather than simply add size. Implant selection and placement can be customized according to a man’s anatomy, existing muscle development, and desired proportions, helping the arms appear stronger and more defined while remaining balanced with the shoulders and chest. Dr. Douglas Steinbrech’s male-focused approach emphasizes creating an athletic appearance that complements the patient’s natural physique. Men considering surgery can view bicep and tricep implant before and after photos to see real examples of upper-arm enhancement.
How Long Do Bicep and Tricep Implants Last?
Bicep and tricep implants are intended to provide long-lasting enhancement, making them different from temporary approaches to increasing upper-arm volume. Results can remain stable for many years, although aging, significant weight changes, changes in muscle mass, and other factors can affect the appearance of the arms over time. Maintaining a stable weight and active lifestyle can help preserve overall proportions. Men interested in creating more balanced muscular definition throughout the body can also explore calf implants for men and other male body contouring options available at Male Plastic Surgery Chicago.
The silicone implant used to augment the biceps and triceps is similar to those used in other men’s procedures. However, implants explicitly designed for the male anatomy differ significantly from those created for females. For example, tricep and bicep implants for men are firm and less pliable to imitate the look and feel of muscle in a proportional way to the patient’s body.
Each surgery is safe and simple. Dr. Douglas S. Steinbrech and his team at Male Plastic Surgery in Chicago will use general anesthesia or local anesthetic to prep you before the procedure begins. After this, a small micro-incision will be made as an entry point for the implant to avoid scarring. Our trained medical staff will then add the custom-fitted implants into the right pocket of the arm within the body’s soft tissue.
The pocket the implant is placed in guarantees your new bicep or tricep is locked into place; meaning, it will not shift position once the procedure is completed. Once the procedure is completed, the doctor will suture up your incision and bandage the site to reduce swelling – ultimately beginning the healing process. Results from bicep and tricep implants are immediately visible but the final look may become more apparent once the bandages are removed.
As a patient, your first step is to complete a consultation with Dr. Steinbrech in Chicago or virtually. During this session, you will have the opportunity to discuss your desired bicep or tricep augmentation goals. Dr. Steinbrech may ask you to cease the use of tobacco and alcohol the week before the surgery to ensure a proper postoperative result and recovery. In addition, the medical staff may ask you to temporarily stop certain medications that may impact the surgery. Once you’ve scheduled your procedure, you will be asked to arrange transportation prior to that appointment.
Bicep and tricep implants are specifically designed for men who are currently in good health who are seeking more volume in their arms. While there is no substitute for a healthy lifestyle, our staff understands that many men have trouble gaining mass in their biceps or triceps, despite proper weightlifting regimens and diet.
On the other hand, arm implants are also a good alternative for men who have suffered an injury that has negatively affected the anatomy of their arms. When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Steinbrech, bicep and tricep implants are a safe and effective route to achieving the aesthetic goals you dream of.
The first consultation will work to establish whether bicep implants are a good fit for a patient.
Implants Are an Ideal Option If You:
- Struggle to increase mass or tone of your arms
- Cannot gain muscle via diet and exercise
- Are an adult male in good health seeking a desired look
- Have realistic expectations for bicep or tricep implants
During postoperative recovery, you may experience mild pain and swelling in your arms. Dr. Steinbrech will outfit you with a dressing over the incision area, and you may be prescribed medication to assist with the swelling from the surgery. You will be asked not to raise or lift your arms for 48 hours following surgery, so be sure to make the appropriate arrangements. You will begin gentle exercise routines after the first week to ensure you have a full range of motion. Normal physical activity can be fully reinstated within 30 days of surgery.
