I am 1 year post-op but my breasts still have an very round appearance in cleavage and upper-pole. I initially wanted to go for tear-drop implants but wad told they are associated with a lymphoma. I was told we could get similar results even with round implants, under the muscle. So far, this is not the case, especially in my right breast which hasn't fully dropped.
