Hi! I'm a 19 year old girl who is petite build, short about 150cm (4'9"), breast size about an A cup and is going to get Breast implants but I'm not sure which style to go for. I was told the tear drop as it is more natural and due to my petite built. I just wanted to know if I were to get round implants would it look that bad?

Answer: Round vs Tear Drop Implants There is quite a bit of information out there regarding the difference between the round and anatomic. Although you can make a round implant appear like a tear drop, it is not possible to do the same with an anatomic. Some of the difference are:Anatomic: doesn't change its shape when lying down, will still look the way as if you were standing, they are more firm, tend to have less wear and tear on the tissues over time, more firm, possibility of rotating, less ripplingRound: have more upper pole fullness, can be softer, move around in the breast, can still look very natural.To really summarize the major point here is that the round implants (depending on the type used: responsive vs soft touch vs cohesive) can be softer than the shaped implants which only come in cohesive type gel. It is important to discuss this with your plastic surgeon and see what he/she recommends for what you are trying to achieve.Hope that helps.

Answer: Tear Drop Vs Round Breast Implants for Petite Build? Blinded research studies have shown that no one can tell the difference between round and teardrop shaped implants when they are inside the body. Appropriately sized round implants can have a very natural look and they allow you to avoid the small risk of rotation that can occur with teardrop shaped implants. By following certain principles of implant sizing, performing the surgery in a very specific way, and exercises during the recovery we can get most patients back to their day-to-day activities within one to two days. Make sure you find an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Tear Drop Vs Round Breast Implants for Petite Build? First off, at your age of 19 when you asked the question, you would only qualify for a saline round implant. Depending on your shape, you can look very natural with the round smooth saline implant. As for anatomically shaped implants vs round implants, from a more recent study, it's hard if not impossible to tell the difference once implanted. I have typically used the shaped implants for those patients with little breast tissue who have a tighter skin envelop. That being said, of all the patients who received shaped implants, I may have one, possibly two who have observed a real rotation. So to answer your question, normally, for a patient like you, who is of the correct age in the U.S., I recommend shaped implants. After some of the more recent studies though, and some issues with textured implants in general, I will begin using more of the smooth round gel filled implants. They look nice and don't have the potential for rotation issues. I hope this helps.
