Male to Female Breast Enlargement
It is true that most breast augmentations are done on women but there are a number of men who benefit from the procedure of getting their breasts enlargement. For example male-to-female transsexuals as well as many female impersonators, gender-benders and cross dressers get breast augmentation done in order to improve their appearance and presentation.

Surprisingly there are little significant physiological differences between male and female breast tissue other than the initial volume. The actual surgical procedure is identical in either case. Through inserting an implant behind each breast, surgeons are able to enlarge man's bust line by a cup size. Since most men usually have less skin in that area it is suggested that they start with the smaller implant in order for the body to get used to the new shape. The method of inserting and positioning your implant depends on your anatomy as well as your surgeon's recommendation.
The difference?
There is not much of a difference between male and female breast enlargement. The only thing that separates men from women in this case is the breast's initial volume. The actual breast enlargement is similar in both cases.
The implant incision can be made either in the crease where the breast meets the chest or in the armpit - this is to have as little scarring as possible. Once the surgeons works through the incision, your breast tissue will be lifted to create a pocket, either directly behind the breast tissue or underneath your pectoral muscle. Most breast implants breast implant is a silicone shell filled with either silicone gel or a salt-water solution known as saline; there are also alternative fillings such as soy solution.
In most cases, the male to female breast enlargement surgery takes one to two hours to complete. Once the implants are inserted stitches are used to close the incisions, which may further be taped for greater support. Finally, a gauze bandage may be applied over your new breasts and you will be given a prescription for pain medication as well as a set of instructions aiding you in your recovery.
During the recovery phase it is a good idea to invest in a good bra that will further support your breasts and ease any discomfort that you may have.
