Are men using implants to gets the perfect chest?

It may sound far fetched, but women aren't the only ones getting implants in the chest area. More men are conceding that diet and exercise aren't the only ways to a "perfect" body. That's where pectoral implants come in. Apparently it's taboo to look normal anymore, as a growing number of guys want the Spartan look of a warrior.

If that means paying anywhere from $7,000 to upwards of $12,000 for the procedure, then so be it. Some people might think the fear of botched pecs would scare such a radical surgery out of consideration. But that isn't stopping others. There was nearly a 100 percent increase in 2006 regarding the number of operations.

The payoff comes in confidence, according to one therapist in San Francisco who got the fake muscles as a birthday present to himself. Having been introduced two decades ago, pectoral implants do have some validity. As a fix for deformities, you can see how certain cases would merit the procedure. But how many other guys out there would jump at the chance for this new facade?
