C to D or DD: 350cc teardrop implants vs. Round?

Hi. It is unfortunate that you were not able to upload your pictures. One C cup can be as different as night and day. I have plenty of patients who have C cups but when evaluated the only surgical procedure they need is simple breast augmentation. These patients usually lack fullness in the upper pole and have had kids.Yet, I have other C cup patients that will require some form of breast lift with the insertion of breast implants. I personally do not use a tear drop shaped implant for cosmetic breast augmentations. I strongly feel that breasts that are "tear drop" following a breast augmentation are more the result of careful pocket dissection, surgical technique and expertise rather than the implant shape itself. I encourage you to visit the Realself photos and judge for yourself. A tear drop shaped implant may become displaced and the shape would be affected.As far as the size, its impossible to tell without the benefit of pictures. Better yet is a personal exam. The exam can tell us much more regarding the quality of skin, body frame and elasticity. Measurements can also be taken at the time. There is a program called TouchMD with which we have the ability to take photos of your breasts, load them up unto a touch screen show you exactly why the surgical recommendations are being made. It is a very comprehensive and educational tool as oppose to those imaging programs that cannot accurately reflect before and after results.Always seek the advice of a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery with years of experience in cosmetic breast surgery. Good luck

Thank you for your question.  In my experienced most patients choose round breast implants for a more natural shape.  Teardrop breast implants can look very nice but are more difficult to place surgically.For more information on choosing breast implant cc for cup size please read the following link:

Unfortunately, you have not told us your bra
size just your cup size.If you are 32
or 34 each 100 cc’s of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change.If you are 36 or 38 each 200 cc’s of implant
corresponds to 1 cup size change.From
this, you can compute the volume required to achieve your desired goal.I always recommend small round textured
silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral since they look and feel more
natural, are more stable, less likely to ripple or have complications needing
revision.Implant profile is irrelevant
in the retro-pectoral position since the muscle compresses it.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
