Would a moderate profile or tear drop implant be better for me? Is a smooth implant safer than a textured? (photos)

For a vey round upper breast, I would suggest a high profile or ultra high profile implant that is smooth and round. Studies show that a teardrop, or shaped implant makes no difference in appearance once it is placed behind the breast. A shaped implant needs to be textured to avoid rotation in the pocket. Texturing has been associated with BIA-ALCL, a rare lymphoproliferative disorder, whereas smooth implants have not. Good luck!

Hi RachI would go with a round implant which will give you more upper pole fullness.  Smooth implants have a softer feel and no risk of ALCL but are more likely to wrinkle and bottom out over time.  For this reason I use mentor textured implants which have approx. 1:90 000 risk of ALCL.CheersDamien
