3 months post revised augmentation with Mentor smooth round silicone gel 225cc
New implants are much better in every way! You can see that they are more natural and with a much prettier shape than the teardrops. No Victoria Beckham round fake look that I was so worried I would get cause I am so skinny and boney up top! They hang very naturally.

Thanks for posting! I'm 34 and our stats are similar, although I am going for 325ccs. I'm so glad they feel more natural for you!! I asked my surgeon about firmness and he said they were a "little" bit firmer than the gels, and of the 200 patients he's put teardrops in no one has ever had them removed because of firmness...but at his point I just want to play it safe and go with the Gels!! Thanks again for your input..it is super helpful!!

When I read reviews of how women are happy with their anatomicals I think that A. either they had more of their own natural tissue to start so it isn't as obvious how firm and immobile they are, or B. that they are just so overwhelmingly happy that they have boobs and they look cute when they look in the mirror and are in denial with how unnatural they feel.

I just had mine done today with Mentor Gels!! Love them so far! Thanks again for all your input, it's crazy because I was suppose to have surgery on the 7th but Igor sick with a cold so we cancelled. THe following day I came across your post and the comments from others on it. I honestly feel like I got sick for a reason, haha!! It was meant to be!!

So happy for you. Eventually the scars should fade as long as you keep them out of the sun and do massages for the next 2 years. I have long scars too and the ride up super high so I know how you feel. Have you tried any of the silicone strips? My surgeon claims that unless you have keloid scars it really doesn't make much of a difference however he did believe that it quickens the scar fading process so it may be worth it if you want them to fade faster.

Wow! the round implants look so good!. I have the Natrelle tear drop shape and they DO NOT have a tear drop slope whatsoever. I got them because i didn't want that fake looking upper roundness. From the side my implants couldn't be rounder *rolls eyes*.

Not at all. He is in Santa a Rosa, CA and his name is Dr. Francisco Canales. He is the warmest, friendliest man. Extremely credentialed and top of his field. His wife does the surgery with him, and her name is Dr. Heather Furnas and she is equally credentialed and experienced. I actually found them through this site as she answered a question posted.

I get worried people might notice the hard shape when I wear tight clothes.
I don't have the time to replace them right now and I don't want another op so soon. But I plan to change them for smooth rounds in the future.
My doc didn't even discuss it with me. He just told me his recommendation for my body was textured teardrop and nothing else was offered. I think some women maybe happy with them but please do your research girls!!!
All the best to everyone.
