You’re wanting a Breast Augmentation, although you still want your breasts to look as natural as possible and not to resemble Pammy circa the ’90s? Then teardrop implants might be for you!
Natural Breast Shape
Teardrop implants, also known as Anatomical implants resemble the female breast shape and therefore provide the most natural appearance. Teardrop implants, as the name suggests are the shape of a teardrop and create a tapered upper pole, with a gentle slope contouring down to a beautiful fullness in the lower pole.
Some Surgeons performing Cosmetic Surgery who advise against teardrop implants, generally have no experience with using them, as they require an advanced technical skillset. Luckily, CosMediTour Plastic Surgeons are highly experienced and can offer you a choice of either round implants or teardrop implants, depending on your anatomy.
More Side Boob and a Closer Cleavage
The side boob trend is here and it isn’t going away any time soon! With teardrop implants sitting higher on the body and having a full lower pole with a wider base diameter, a more natural-looking closer cleavage is formed, this includes the popular ‘Side Boob’.
Suitable for Wide-Set Breasts
For women with wide-set breasts, teardrop implants can be the perfect solution to balancing a wider frame, as the implant has a wide diameter and moulds the breasts into shape. This is achieved by centralising the breast tissue and closing the cleavage.
Can Assist in Eliminating Mild Breast Ptosis
In some cases, teardrop implants have an ability to offer a slight lift to a very mild case of breast ptosis (sagging breast tissue), due to the projection of the implant. Due to this, teardrop implants have assisted clients in avoiding a Breast Lift procedure where possible.
Suitable for Petite Body Types or Women With Minimal Breast Tissue
Women with petite body types or limited amount of natural breast tissue are generally recommended a teardrop implant over a round implant, as teardrop implants can disguise the appearance of thin breast tissue, whilst assisting in providing a more proportional body shape.
May Lower the Risk of Capsular Contracture
Teardrop implants are filled with a durable formulated highly cohesive silicone gel, which is slightly firmer than the silicone gel within a round shape implant and designed to lower risk of rupture, whilst maintaining a natural firmness. The coating of a teardrop implant is a firm and of a micro-texture, which can assist in lowering risks of capsular contracture and better yet assist in maintaining optimum long term breast shape.
Can Assist in Correcting Tuberous Breasts
Teardrop implants are commonly used to correct tuberous shaped breasts, also known as ‘Tubular Breasts’, which occurs when the breasts are constricted at the lower breast fold as they develop. Therefore, creating a shorter distance between the nipple and the breast fold, with a ‘cone-like’ breast shape forming.
An experienced Plastic Surgeon with a highly specialised skill set such as a CosMediTour Plastic Surgeon can use different techniques when placing the teardrop implant, including scoring of the breast tissue. This can then create a greater projection in the lower pole, helping to centralise both the nipple position and breast tissue, furthermore allowing for a more superior aesthetic outcome.
Note: Teardrop implants do not alleviate the need for a breast lift surgery if this has been recommended for you.
