What Are Round Implants?
Round implants are symmetrical and offer a fuller, more voluminous appearance. Their shape provides an even distribution of fullness in both the upper and lower parts of the breast, making them a popular choice for individuals seeking dramatic enhancement. Because they are round, there is no risk of the implant rotating and affecting the breast’s appearance. Round implants are often ideal for those wanting a more lifted or “push-up” look.
Benefits of Round Implants:
- Fuller in the upper part of the breast above the nipple.
- Better suited for individuals with a naturally flatter chest.
- Easier placement during surgery, reducing procedure time.
- There are no concerns about implant rotation.
What Are Teardrop Implants?
Teardrop implants, also called anatomical implants, mimic the natural slope of the breast. They are designed to have more fullness at the bottom and taper gently toward the top, making them a popular choice for individuals who prefer a more subtle, natural-looking result. These implants are particularly beneficial for patients undergoing breast reconstruction or those with less natural breast tissue.
Benefits of Teardrop Implants:
- A natural, sloped contour that closely resembles real breasts.
- Excellent for patients seeking a less augmented appearance.
- Often recommended for women with asymmetrical or reconstructed breasts.
