Teardrop Breast Implants Above the Muscle for Slim Build?

Unfortunately the most commonly used type of implants (high profile) and the most common type of placement ( submuscular/dual plane) cannot deliver the natural 'tear drop' effect that you desire.  There are also big problems associated with anatomic implants placed in conventional planes( they work well in subfascial carefully designed pockets).  This is why I use a very unique methof of breast augmentation that I call 'cold-subfascial augmantation.'  the placement of the implants is not 'above the muscle' or subglandular, nor is it submuscular or dual plane.  A very strong layer of connective tissue is meticulously and atraumatically dissected from the pectoralis major muscle and this tissue is used to shape and support a lower profile implant into a gentle tear drop shape.  It is the surgical dissection and not the implant itself that gives shape to the breasts.  The results sit like natural breasts and do not move like submuscular implants do with arm motion.  The fascia also supports the implant giving it relative protection from gravity and aging.  


All the best,

This is my opinion and we dont have pictures of you but if you are thin and dont have a lot of breast tissue I would place the implant SUBMUSCULAR not in front. This will decrease your chance of rippling.
As for the tear drop implants, they are textured and thicker shelled and more prone to leak, and rippling specially if you are thin and going in front of the muscle.
So you can think about this and perhaps get more opinions, but from what you tell us, that is what I would recommend
Good luck..

I am not a big fan of the tear drop shaped impaltns because they can shift in the pocket and look funy afterwards.
