Normally, this does not cause too many issues, but it may require specialized techniques. Placing breast implants under the pectoral muscle reduces the possibility of complications and usually creates more natural results.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-nipple-areola-differences\">#3: Nipple &amp; Areola Differences<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Thirdly, the nipples and areolas of MTF patients may require resizing or repositioning. If breast implants were placed like in a cisgender patient, the nipples would be far from center. This requires placing the breast implants carefully and strategically. Typically, this entails placing them slightly below the breast fold.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-breast-tissue-firmness\">#4: Breast Tissue Firmness<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Finally, whether or not the patient has taken hormones, transgender patients tend to have firmer breast tissue.
