I'm trying to decide if I want a tear drop implant or a round implant. I like the fullness at the top with cleavage. What shape does the gummy bear implant come in? Is it round or tear drop? Or is the round one just another silicone implant? My doctor showed me two different sizes on the Vectra machine and I'm thinking I'm going with the larger size since the implant is going behind the muscle. I just want the right size that is proportionate to my body.

Answer: Tear Drop or Round? Under the muscle it is very hard to tell a difference. The tear drop introduces the possibility of rotation, which the round cannot do (or at least is doesn't matter). So they have to be textured, which fail more. Also, the tear drop are a lot more expensive.So I mostly use smooth round. I sometimes use teardrop when there is a tight lower pole.Also, "gummy bear" is not a standardized term--it really just means cohesive gel. All silicone implants are cohesive gels, but the tear drop ones are a little more cohesive.Good Luck!

Answer: Round vs tear drop Based on your wish pictures and description of your goals, it is clear that you like a rounded breast and I would recommend round implants for you. "Gummy bear" is a term used by different PS offices differently. Most commonly, this refers to a highly cohesive silicone product. Typically these are tear drop shaped implants although Sientra has a round version with the same fill material that will be available when Sientra is back up and running. Best of luck.
