My width is 11.5-11.75. What is the biggest size i can go for with teardrop? I am looking for very natural look.
Answer: Tear drop shape implant Hello loveforboobs, thank you for your interesting question! Tear drop shape implant is a great addition to the plastic surgeon's armamentarium for aesthetic breast surgery. In my practice, it is most often used in patients who desire a natural breast shape without an overfilled upper pole. It is excellent in patients with very little breast tissue because the shape implants help define the breast shape without creating the fake and overly round appearance. It is also good for patients with mild breast ptosis/ pseudoptosis because the center of the implant is positioned a bit lower than traditional round implants. Although malposition/ rotation of the implant is a documented risk, it is extremely rare when the breast pocket is well created and not over-dissected. The choice of implant size depends on various factors and measurements, and it is best for you to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon in person to discuss your options. Good luck!`

Answer: #Augmentation #lift with #shapedimplants #Augmentation #lift with #shapedimplantsShaped implants are all textured and should not rotate when used properly. Your PS needs to measure you and determine the best shape and size of any implants that are used.In my practice, about 20% of the patients benefit from shaped implants

Answer: Trear drop vs round. Thanks for your question. Tear drops are being heavily promoted by the manufacturers, but like every product there are pros and cons.Less fullness in the upper pole-- but many patients want more fullness in the upper pole. Round gel implants under the muscle take on a tear drop shape anyway.Textured so they stick in the correct position- but on occasion they can still rotate and will look funny. If a round implant rotates it will make no difference. Because they have to stick I feel the breast can look less mobile, less natural.Texture can lower contracture rate- Above the muscle a lower rate of contracture is clear, but below the muscle texturing make less difference. Round implants can be textured as well, but they will stick internally, be less mobile and IMO may look less natural.Thicker gel- All of today's implants are cohesive, the tear drops are slightly more cohesive so that they maintain their shape. This translates into a firmer implant which for some surgeons and patients may not be a good thing.Ultimately your surgeon should base the selection of implant on you your goals,and your breast examination. If there is a reason for a textured teardrop it is a nice option to have, but smooth round implants may have less issues down the road.Hope this has helped.

Answer: Tear drop implant Thanks for your question. Rotation of teardrop implants is thought to be uncommon but the exact incidence is not well understood. Surgeons have different indications to use teardrop vs round implants. In my practice I use teardrop implants if the nipple position is lower than ideal and the person wants to improve the apparent position of the nipple on the breast without having a lift. Teardrop implants are firmer so if a person does not have much tissue thickness I find that they are more likely to feel or see the edge of the implant, particularly if they are inserted above the muscle. They are more expensive and often a slightly longer incision is required for their insertion. A proper assessment is required to discuss appropriate implant size and shape.

Answer: What are the pros and cons of tear drop shape implant? Drop Silicone implants in my opinion are the best choice for natural looking breast results. Silicone textured implants breast shaped may all around made by Allergan or [0:25:02] rarely rotate. I cannot give you an answer regarding whether it’s the biggest size possible based on your breasts with alone but I assume that since your question was found in the category having to deal with breast lifts and implants that you also need a breast lift. That being said, it’s probably not wise to look to be as big as you possibly can because breast implants under the best of circumstances do contribute weight and to a very weight sensitive procedure. We must remember that a woman has saggy breasts due to gravity and genetics and gravity and genetics are not going to change in your lifetime. So you might want to take it easy on maximum largest implant that you could put in there. Thank you.
