I have been trying to research techniques for breast lift and augmentation when I found the "teardrop augmentation Mastopexy". Is this technique well known? How would I go about talking to my plastic surgeon about a technique that I would like to try? It seems to be a nice technique that would be a fix for me. any suggestions about this technique?

Answer: Teardrop Augmentation Mastopexy is nothing unique
Many surgeons use descriptive terms for their procedures. However, the principles involved in augmentation mastopexy are similar across these variously named procedures. From the picture provided this appears to be a very standard approach and appropriate for this particular patient.
Discuss the details that your surgeon feels will work best for you. See examples of outcomes by your Plastic Surgeon and get answers to all of your questions. When advances occur with procedures, and these changes result in better results, then this information gets disseminated quickly. Feel free to ask your Plastic Surgeon any questions you have.

Answer: Teardrop Breast Implant A newer breast implant is the shaped, form stable implant. It can be ideal for some patients, but is certainly not the answer for everyone. If your plastic surgeon uses biodimensional planning techniques, he or she can help you select an implant that is ideal for you. This will include the need for a shaped implant and what the base diameter of the implant should be.
