I'm a petite A cup, I'm trying to get fat transfer first to get more breast tissue and a better basis for implants. tear drop shaped implants or round implants? WANT: natural look, preferably large B or a small C cup. scared of wrinkling/rippling of the implants, it says that non textured, under the muscle silicon implants are the ones to prevent rippling. tear drop shaped implant will rotate if its not textured? does that mea it will wrinkle? do all tear drop implants rotate?
Answer: Fat transfer and form-stable teardrop implants
I would disagree with one of the previous commenters- fat grafting to the breast has entered the mainstream and it is a safe and reasonable way to add volume to the breast. As for teardrop shaped 'form stable' implants, I think there a few unique anatomic indications to use these shaped devices (constricted breasts, for example) - and they certainly appear to have a lower capsular contracture rate than our current round silicone implants (in the USA)...but the implant rotation is a problem- precise implant pocket dissection is essential to keep these devices from spinning around and changing the shape of the breast.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Do Tear Drop Implants Rotate? Thank you for the question. These days there are a variety of breast implants available; the variety of breast implant available raise a lot of questions from women considering breast augmentation surgery. Personally, I think that for most patients considering breast augmentation surgery, careful selection of plastic surgeon and careful communication of goals, far outweigh the specific type of breast implant utilized (when it comes to the success of the breast augmentation procedure).Anatomical breast implants were designed to better simulate the natural breast shape; the problem with these implants is that if they shift or rotate, the entire breast will change shape as well. This change in breast shape may require further surgery to correct. Round implants, under the hand, can shift or rotate without changing the shape of the breasts. Overall, I find that beautiful outcomes can be achieved with the use of round saline or silicone gel breast implants for the vast majority of patients.Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. For example, I have found that the use of words such as “very natural” or "B or C cup" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice.3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers.I hope this (and the attached link, dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

Answer: Risk of rotation All teardrop implants are textured to reduce the risk of rotation, which does exist. However, this risk is very small.

Answer: Teardrop or anatomic implants
Teardrop or anatomic implants have a textured coating to promote adherance to the breast tissue thereby preventing rotation or movement of the implant. However, even with the textured coat, they can rotate which can result in a distorted appearance of the breast, especially in thin women with limited soft tissue coverage.

Answer: Tear Drop or Anatomic Breast Implants Can Rotate: Variables in Breast Augmentation
Anatomic breast implants or tear drop shaped implants must be textured to facilitate adherence to prevent rotation when placed in the breast pocket. The textured shell can be thicker and form more visible rippling. These factors introduce negative variables into a procedure which should have a very reliable outcome. A conservative smooth, round implant placed under the muscle can produce a very natural look which can be delivered with a high degree of predictability. I hope this helps. Dr. Trussler
