I am having trouble deciding on a teardrop or round implant!! I have seen both on others and sometimes can tell the difference but not always. I very much like the full cleavage and side boob that a teardrop can achieve however upper pole fullness is appealing as well. On the other hand round can sometimes look too "bolted on" which is not the look I am going for either. Looking for insight from women on both types and why you chose the type you did! I have been recommended teardrop implants however they come with an added cost and I'm worried I'd be spending extra cash for a look I could possibly achieve with round. Thanks everyone!

I had the same problem as you. I just had my surgery 3 days ago and I'm glad I chose the teardrop implant. I think you can still achieve upper pole fullness if you go with high profile, that's what I did and it doesn't look too fake. I chose teardrop because they gave the more natural look and my friend went with teardrop and her breasts look amazing. Also, I've been told that when it looks too ''bolted on'' like you said it's whether they have salines or they have very little breast tissue. Anyway, I wish you good luck :)

Ok i just looked at your results and I'm in love!! It looks like you started with very similar to what I have now and it gives me hope I can achieve a nice size and shape like yours. The teardrop definitely seemed to be a good choice for you. I have heard doing round implants in a dual plane placement can also achieve this look but that's something I have to look more into. I have also heard gummy bears are more dense and firm than regular silicone but I would love to keep in touch with you as they heal to get your feedback on softness over time! Congratulations on the girls and thank you for your input :)

Hey!:) I had my sugery 21days ago with mentor silicone round smooth high profile,and honestly I think they look super natural. I think the key for it to happen is 1) that they're silicone so they look and feel more natural than saline implants, 2) i

2) I have my implants under the muscle.
3) I choose an implant that is close to my BWD.
So even though I chose kinda big implants (425cc) they look pretty natural,and not fake at all.

There is a very good chance that Phuket will be my BA destination of choice. I have done plenty of research on the hospital, the company I would book with (cosmeditour) and the surgeons (I am leaning towards dr.Poonsak) however I would love to talk directly to someone who has gone! Anyone out there?? :)

Well I've been researching RELIGIOUSLY on round and teardrop implants and I may be leaning more towards the rounds. If done in a dual plane placement they appear as teardrops without risk of rotation issues! (Which I like considering us ladies have enough to worry about as it is! Lol)

This decision however is still waiting on the proper approval from a professional that I can still achieve the results I hope for with the rounds..

I have decided to upload current pictures of myself in hopes anyone can help shed some light on my situation. It appears I suffer from asymmetry and have a natural gap in between the girls, however I can't tell if it's a large enough gap that rounds would only look silly. I may not get my answer until face to face with my surgeon however any outside help is welcome!

It is true that anatomical implants have a risk of rotation but because they are textured the risk is significantly low (from what I've heard). And when everything is healed the implant is pretty much settled in the breast. Anyway your surgeon is the one who knows best :) I would wait too until face to face with him before making a decision.

Totally true, I have also heard due to the textured shell they don't flop around like a smooth shell lol however I know not every surgeon is 100% comfortable or experienced with these types so I'll have to talk to my surgeon about it specifically. Here in Canada I don't personally know anyone who hasn't gone with round so it makes my decision tough while still on home soil. Ive heard the gummy bears can be more firm than silicone rounds but I'd love to get your opinion on softness as your healing continues! The way they feel is a key point for me for sure. Looking at your results so far I know I would NOT be mad if those were mine! lol

OH and if you have any side profile pics I'd love to see em! I'm curious how full your upper pole looks :) :)

Hey! I'd say your gap is about the same as mine (mine might be even larger) and my surgeon still went with dual plane rounds. I just have a bit of side boob now which is something to get used to! I don't think it would look silly at all on you though

I also forgot to say I had slight asymmetry too... It was one of the first things the dr said. He said it wasn't enough to worry about though. I can still see it now a bit now... But I am only one month and I need to be patient cause they will still change a lot. I can send you pics when they have finally dropped and fluffed as it will be before your surgery if you like :)

that would be awesome, thank you! I'd love to see your progress. Im glad to hear you say you went through similar things but were still able to get results. I have yet to have a meeting with my surgeon as it is still too far away but I'm sure after talking to him and getting his opinion we will be able to work something out. I can't wait to get this process started!!
