Switching teardrop implants to round, mild case of tuberous breasts

Annie6968Aug 12, 2018
Half year ago I had BA with breast lift. My doctor recommended me teardrop implants as the only option due to having mild case of tuberous breasts. In few month I would like to switch to round implants, do you think it might be possible? I mean, if somebody gets shapes implants as the better outcome, can they change it later to round, like the breasts somehow adjusts and after some time patient has two options? By the way, I don’t mind additional scarrings, pain or going up or down with size.
