I had a breast augmentation with Mentor textured HP implants (400cc), inframammary incision, dual plane submuscular. I dislike the appearance. I feel like they are too high on my chest and they appear boxy, rather than round and smooth. I would like more volume on the lower pole of my breast to create a more natural teardrop appearance.
