I am 27 years old 5’7 and 127 pounds. I went to a breast augmentation consultation and the doctor reccomended 300 cc over the muscle tear drop implants. I am sceptical abov going over the muscle but he says I have enough tissue and I am also worried whether I am making the right decision of chosing tear drop. Any doctor feedback is greatly appreciated.
Answer: Above the muscle tear drop breast implants Thank you for your query. The choice of implants and their shape depends on your anatomy, your surgeon and your preference. Over the muscle placement of implants can be done when there is a minimum of 2 cm of breast tissue above the implants, which your surgeon must have checked. I do not prefer tear drop shaped implants except for best breast reconstruction but these work well for many surgeons. Round implants can also work well. Please discuss all your options at length with your Plastic surgeon who can help you with all your concerns. All the best!

Answer: My patients tell me under the muscle gives them a more natural look After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants, and they choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Breast You did not show photos, so I cannot be specific. However, your surgeon who has examined you knows how much actual breast tissue is present and can guide you to the best location for your implant.

Answer: Implant selection An examination and discussion of your goals is really needed to give you a proper recommendation. There are pros and cons to tear drop implants, the main one being they have a potential to turn/flip. The majority of my patients elect to have the implants placed beneath the muscle. This allows for the upper portion of the implant to be disguised by the muscle. This approach also carries a lower risk of capsular contracture. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon to determine what is right for you.

Answer: Breast Augmentation: teardrop / round - in front of behind the muscle? Thank you for your question. The decision the decision to go above or under the muscle depends on several factors such as the existing glandular tissue you have, the position of the nipple, degree of laxity / skin excess and desired size of the final breast ... It is difficult to advise you without at least photographs or accurate physical examination. Therefore you will have to trust your surgeon on this.
