The internipple distance and its relationship to gestational age has not been studied in infants born in the United States. One hundred and thirty-three newborns between 25 and 40 weeks gestation showed progressive increase in the internipple distance with increasing gestational age. The internipple index stays constant during various gestational ages. The internipple index greater than 28% (greater than 2 SD) at any gestational age or during immediate postnatal age should be flagged to look into widely spaced nipples. Extrauterine growth of internipple distance is similar to that of intrauterine growth.

Developing Practice Guidelines on Chest Masculinization: Designing Male Neo-nipple-Areolar Complex.
Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open
December 2024
From the Department of Plastic Surgery, University of California Irvine Medical Center, Orange, CA.
Background: Successful nipple-areolar complex (NAC) reconstruction greatly influences patient outcomes for transgender patients undergoing chest masculinization. Despite the recent rise in case volume, little is known on designing the ideal NAC that maintains its aesthetics in dynamic settings. This study aimed to examine the characteristics of male NACs and their dimensional variability to help develop guidelines on designing the neo-NAC.

Purpose: The transgender community utilizes online platforms to view and share postoperative masculinizing top surgery photographs. However, the quantitative and qualitative nature of these photographs is unknown. We aimed to conduct an analysis of postoperative online photographs for nipple-areolar complex (NAC) shape and location, and compare social media platforms to World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) surgeons' websites and published cis-male chest proportions.

Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open
October 2023
From the American University of Beirut Medical Center, Beirut, Lebanon.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the ideal position of the umbilicus (belly button) in male cosmetic abdominoplasty, focusing on its anthropometric measurements to improve surgical outcomes.
- Researchers found a strong correlation between umbilicus position relative to the anterior axillary fold and nipple positions, suggesting that these reference points are better for determining umbilicus placement than relying only on the abdominal crease.
- The results propose a new predictive equation (U-AX = 1.618 × N-N) for umbilicus repositioning that emphasizes the aesthetic unity of the chest and abdomen in male patients.
Sustained Breast Development and Breast Anthropometric Changes in 3 Years of Gender-Affirming Hormone Treatment.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab
January 2021
Department of Endocrinology, Amsterdam UMC, VU University Medical Center, HV, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Context: Breast development is important for most trans women. An important limitation of current breast development measurement methods is that these do not allow for 3D volume analyses.
Objectives: To examine breast development and change in anthropometry during the first 3 years of gender-affirming hormone treatment using 3D imaging.

Background/aim: Symptomatic breast hypertrophy has a significant impact on the quality of life of women. The amount of tissue to be excised may be preoperatively estimated by an experienced surgeon. However, this remains a subjective assessment.
