Tear drop or round to counter low lying nipples? (Photo)

Question

I am having breast augumentation in june and my surgeon has reccommended dual placement and teardrop implants to counteract low lying nipples? Would round implants still look ok?

J. Jason Wendel, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question.Yes, I think anatomically shaped implants would be an excellent choice for the same reasons other have stated. below.

To be sure, see two or more board
certified and experienced plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete
evaluation.

I hope this helps.

I would agree that a tear drop shape implant will be the better option. A round implant may give too much upper pole fullness which give the impression of a lower nipple position as the nipple may not be centered on the implant.

Michael Law, MD · Answer

A Common error that leads to an unnatural appearance after breast augmentation, even with implants of an ideal size, is inadequate lower pole dissection and/or inadequate release of the pectoralis major origin just above the inframammary fold. As a result the implants sit too high and appear excessively full in the upper poles (the area above the nipple-areola complex), while the lower poles - which should be the fullest area of the breast - are underfilled. Inadequate muscle release may also result in bizarre-appearing breast implant animation when the pec major muscle contracts. In some cases this may result in one or both of their implants jumping up literally to the level of a patient's collarbones - an alarmingly unnatural look, and one that is totally avoidableA shaped form stable breast implant can give the patient the lowest risk of fold and ripples in the lower pole, the lowest risk of a visible transition between natural breast tissue and implant  (sometime refereed to as a double bubble) and the lowest risk of breast implant malposition with the breasts bottoming out. I think there is a performance difference between form stable breast implants. Consult with plastic surgeon who have experience and expertise perfuming this particular procedure.
