Engineered Strength. Sculpted Form.
Pec Implants at John M. Compoginis, MD, Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery
Pec implants offer a reliable solution for enhancing chest size and definition. Newport Beach double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. John M. Compoginis uses advanced techniques and a sculptor’s eye to create a balanced, natural-looking result tailored to your physique.
Sculpted with Surgical Precision
What is the Pec Implants procedure like?
On the day of surgery, you’ll be placed under general anesthesia for comfort. Dr. Compoginis makes a discreet incision, typically within the natural crease of the underarm or chest, to minimize visible scarring.
A pocket is then carefully created beneath the pectoral muscle, where the implant is precisely positioned. This submuscular placement ensures a natural contour and feel. Once the implants are in place, the incisions are closed, and you’ll return home the same day.
When Training Isn’t Enough
What conditions do Pec Implants address?
Common concerns addressed include:
- Underdeveloped or flat chest muscles
- Lack of definition despite consistent exercise
- Chest asymmetry or uneven muscle development
- Congenital conditions affecting chest shape
- Volume loss or contour irregularities

Recover Strong, Come Back Confident
Pec Implants Recovery
Recovery is straightforward with proper care. Pec implant patients should expect some mild swelling, tightness, or soreness. Compression garments may be recommended to support healing and shape results.
Most patients return to light activities within 1–2 weeks, but strenuous exercise, especially chest workouts, should be avoided for 4–6 weeks. Following post-operative instructions is essential to ensure optimal healing and implant positioning.

"Dr. Compoginis was a referral from my Primary Care Physician, and she’s super picky, so that was a great start. When I met Dr. C & his staff (especially Meg & Gabby), they immediately put me at ease. Dr. C has outstanding credentials and a great low-key style. He listens to what you want to accomplish and gives you options to consider. I’m now 9 weeks post op and doing extremely well. I followed all his guidelines, and he was always available for questions and concerns. The whole team is approachable, accessible, and flexible. The results are well above my expectations, and I highly recommend Dr. C. You will be in experienced and compassionate hands and look awesome!"

"He was a great surgeon. I had major surgery on my jaw, and to fix the trauma that happened to my face about 4 months ago. He did a great job, and I'm able to sing and eat food without pain. Sometimes the metal plate makes my face a bit tingly at times, but it's not that bad. I'm grateful to have met and worked with a wonderful surgeon. I woke up a bit faster from the anesthesia and my nose was all fixed up. He has a great bedside manner."
