Before a bicep implant is made, the patient is first given an anesthesia so they won’t feel pain during the surgery. Then the surgeon will make an extremely small incision on the skin of the upper arm. This is followed by the insertion of the implant beneath the biceps muscle in such a way that the actual biceps muscle rests on the implant. This is done to ensure that the physical attributes of the real muscle is what is shown through the skin, preventing people from noticing that there was an implant.
It takes between one to two hours for the surgery to be performed and you will notice the effect of the bicep implant as soon as the surgery is completed. The patient will need to rest for about one month after the surgery before he can resume normal activity.
