Tear drop implant: 255cc or 295cc. Which is more suitable for me? (Photo)

Thank you for your question. You will get a beautiful result with either a round or tear drop implant. There are differences between round and shaped implants. I like using them both. A very important measurement to determine the proper profile implant is your base width diameter. This reflects the width of your breast. During your consultation I like to find out your goals (I.e. What cup size you would like to be). I like to use breast sizers that are made to specifically try out before surgery. Mentor has a good set. The patient puts on a bra and she can place various sizes over her breast. When she looks in a mirror she can see which size she likes best. During surgery I like to use intraoperative breast implant sizers to confirm the size. I use the bloodless breast technique which I invented. Bleeding is minimal, typically there is no bruising after surgery, and recovery is a lot quicker versus traditional technique. Please watch the enclosed video and I hope you find this information helpful.

Breast augmentation should give you the aesthetic improvement you seek.

It would be disingenuous to advice you on the exact volume without examining your tissues and using some sort of sizing system in person. I would there recommend you discuss the sizes with your PS who will explain how he or she arrived at the size recommendations and advise you better as to what to expect with either.

General points that I would make in your case include that I do agree with tear drop implants when there is only a small amount of breast tissue, but when one has a smaller frame using a larger implant would increase the risk of implant malposition and other complications. Hope that helps and best of luck,
