I have a C cup but would like D or DD... is 350 teardrop implant good for me? I would like them as sexy nature as possible. For some reason this thing isn't uploading my pics. :(

Answer: Anatomically Shaped Teardrop Implants And Superior Pole Fullness Are Very Misunderstood in The World of Breast Augmentation Many patients and doctors think that the way to get superior pole fullness is to place a high profile round implant. The reality is that high profile round implants NEVER produce superior pole fullness. A better way to understand high profile implants is to realize this means the implant takes up a very short and narrow area in favor of sticking outward more. THerefore there simply cannot be volume in the suerior pole and the inferior pole nor can the full width of most women's breasts be occupied with high profile implants. These implants are preferred in dual-plane augmentation because of the thought that they will counter some of the unnatural flattening forces of the pectoralis major muscle. In reality the muscle always wins and working on the extended lever arm provided by the high profile implant, the muscle pushes the implant to the "down and out" position off of the natural breast footprint.I use exclusively anatomically shaped implants because they actually allow ENHANCED SUPERIOR POLE FULLNESS. That is they are taller than any other implant (if proper shape is selected) and give me the amount of width that I need to create a natural appearing breast form. THis however does not work out with dual-plane or subpectoral techniques because the muscle limits the space the implant can occupy, spreading them apart and requiring more narrow implants (ie high profile). In my practice I use exclusively subfascial placement for these reasons. Subfascial placement offers long term contouring support that allows a natural and beautiful shape. I use a fascia preserving technique called Cold-Subfascial AugmentationR and I simply do not offer other techniques because I do not believe that it is reasonable to intentionally create and "augmented" appearance. I hope this helps!All the best,Rian A. Maercks M.D.

Answer: Breast augmentation - Tear drop implants or round? The simple answer is that both tear drop and round implants can get you to a DD cup breast. However, the tear-drop (or "anatomic" gel implants) are more restrictive in the options available. These implants are best used when the width of the implant matches your natural breast width. Because of this, the number of sizes available to a given patient are much less than with round implants. Although they create a more natural upper pole, many women seek augmentation to specifically address this lack of fullness! Round implants come in varying projections which allow more freedom in choosing an implant to fit. Also, the upper pole can be accentuated to the point where "pushup" bras are not necessary. Finally, rotation of the implant is not a concern with round implants, but if an anatomic implant should rotate, it can create a very odd deformity to the breast.
