Has a good section about teardrops (below) as well as info about all other BA Qs you might have!
Teardrop implants are designed to look as natural as possible in all sizes and are becoming increasingly popular in breast implant surgery. Their downside is that they are more expensive than round implants and that there is a small risk of the implants rotating in position over time. Indeed, as the maintenance of correct implant position is so important in teardrop implants, they are only available with a textured surface. Recent evidence, by large plastic surgical units in Sweden, has shown that anatomical implants are more likely to keep their shape better over time and hence produce longer-lasting results. I personally find that these implants are the best implants of choice in three groups of people. Those with poor pre-existing breast shape, those with some droopiness in their breast who require somewhat of a lift with their augmentation and those who want to minimise upper pole fullness and look as natural as possible in all positions of life. That last point needs some clarification. You usually see before/afters of breast augmentation patients with the subjects standing up and it is certainly true that when you hold in your hand a round implant, it does start to resemble (because of the influence of gravity)a teardrop one. During the activities of daily life though, you are not always standing up in a squared-off, erect position. You may be lying on your back at the beach, jogging, lying on the side reading a book etc in many of these circumstances of everyday living, I believe anatomical implants more closely resemble and yield a more natural looking result and it is why in mypractice I am using more and more of these types of implants.
