The most common concern with male breast reduction is inverted or retracted nipples, and that's a matter of where the incision is and making sure that a cuff of tissue remains behind the nipple. Other concerns with male breast reduction include asymmetry, or making sure that the breasts look relatively the same, and that they look like a male breast as opposed to a female breast, meaning that the nipple is in an appropriate area for a male breast.
