About
²Due to the difference in the structure of the male chest, only the ribs and muscles can be seen anatomically. The size of the nipples and areolas is smaller. The positioning of the male nipple is not in the center of the chest; it is on the side, 1/3 of the width of the thorax.
For preparation for breast augmentation, the patient must take the female hormone (estrogen) for at least one year to stimulate breast mass, fat, and tissue to enlarge the breast. Hormone therapy cannot improve the breast as much as we need. MTF breast augmentation is essential to create a female body. The plastic surgery expert can perform breast implantation from the male chest to balance the shoulder, nipple position, and implant size. You will have a beautiful and natural breast.
