This is a question about implant shapes, would you recommend a tear drop implant? (Photo)

Dear Patient:  great question!  I would first do my homework and interview or consult with Board Certified Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) who are the correct specialists that can give you the best advice you are looking for.  In my opinion, and I have been doing this procedure for lver 15 yrs now, the tear drop implants have a high insidence of "rotating" meaning the implant moves ans thus produces an uneven looking breast.  For this reason I tend to stick to the round low profile/ moderate profile/ high profile or extra high profile Implants for my patients.  Looking at your photo you should be doing great with a moderate to high profile round implant.
Please be sure to consult with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and let him know of your goals, you shoulf be able to discuss with him/ her your realistic expectations and the outcomes of a Breast Augmentation Surgery in all its details.
Wish you the best of luck with your research and hope this helps! 

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  You are a great candidate for a breast augmentation and this can help correct your asymmetry also.  The size,
profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast
size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. 
This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with
equal input from both you and your surgeon.   Make sure you
specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have
had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their
results.   The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are
comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified
board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

I typically prefer smooth round gel filled implants which seem to have fewer problems long term in my experience.
Even these implants have an anatomic shape when standing, and seem to be less problematic when moving in the breast pocket, as they cannot go off axis the way a shaped implant can.
Best of luck.

I prefer round implants to get you to where you want to go.  You are best seen in person to be properly evaluated.

Dear KathrynD,I would not recommend an anatomic shaped breast implant for you with that description.  In general, anatomic shaped implants provide less upper pole breast fullness than round implants and would not reverse your "flattening" as well.  Good luck!
