I am going for a more natural look and have a slight tuberous shaped breast. i am only taking on a 330 cc implant. but am worried that after recovery i will have that worry in the back of my mind that they could rotate at anytime.. is this true?? i am a waitress so when going back to work should i be worried they could rotate at any given time? or will they heal in place over my healing process.. i am not worried about my PS i know he is great and can make a very precise dissection.

Answer: “Teardrop” Breast Implants and Rotation?
Thank you for the question. It's good to hear about your level of confidence with your plastic surgeon.
One of the known problems/complications associated with “anatomical” or “teardrop” breast implants is the possibility of shifting/rotation of the breast implant. This rotation of breast implant may cause the breast shape to change, potentially necessitating further surgery to correct. For this reason, and with the goal of minimizing complications and need for further surgery, I prefer the use of round implants for almost all patients.
Given that you have chosen your plastic surgeon carefully, ask him about his experience with the proposed breast implants.
Best wishes.

Answer: Anatomic implants superior pole rotation
Yes, anatomic shaped implants can rotate if there is not proper adherence between the implant surface and the capsule. The risk of superior pole rotation is in the 8% range.
