Can mastectomy patients get a nice result with round implants or would "anatomical" teardrop shape be better? (Photo)

I had a mastectomy and was advised by my surgeon to go with silicon teardrop implants, but they feel heavy and rigid to me. When I felt the smooth, round implants they felt softer, lighter and more pliable, which I like. I am concerned that since I have no fat in my chest that the rounds might look too "severe" and have an obvious outline. My surgeon is also concerned that I don't have enough fat for fat grafting. My exchange surgery is in 8 weeks and I'm trying to decide between the two types.
