Developing Practice Guidelines on Chest Masculinization: Designing Male Neo-nipple–Areolar Complex
Our findings suggest that during chest masculinization surgery, the design of the male neo-NAC has a risk of being positioned too medial and elliptical with upright positioning. Care must be taken intraoperatively to account for changes in neo-NAC dimensions that occur with body position changes. We strongly recommend that surgeons determine the final position of the neo-NAC intraoperatively while having the patient in upright sitting position.
