Male Breast Augmentation - what is the best technique for nipple placement?

Question

I am a male wanting to get breast implants. My concern was nipple placement. I received a lot of good information from my first question. My questions are, what is the best technique for placement of the implants so keep the nipple from pointing more laterally? and is there a name for the procedure to relocate the nipple so that I can research that option?

In breast augmentation surgeries, I typically place implants in the subfascial plane, which is applicable in your case. Regarding the placement of the breast circumference and areola, if the patient desires, I also adjust the position of the areola within the context of mastopexy. I refer to this as medialization of the areola.

Once upon a Time plastic surgeons had standards before augmenting male patients with breast implants.
It seems that these standards have all but eviscerated.
To get an assessment and better understanding of the implications of having breast implant surgery I suggest you schedule a few in person consultations with plastic surgeons in your community.
Plastic surgeons cannot move your breast on your chest wall.
If your breast nipples are deviated or sit laterally, then this will be emphasized by augmenting them.
 There are three variables that determine the quality of a breast documentation outcome.
This is unrelated to the gender of the patient. The first is the patient’s candidacy for the procedure. The second is the choice of implants in regards to size type and shape. The third is the technical ability to place the implants in the correct, and a topic position.
 When in doubt, I suggest not moving forward with procedures that are going to permanently change your body.
Best,
