Round vs. Teardrop Implants


 

Round vs. Teardrop Implants: How to Choose the Right Shape for Your Body

So, you’ve decided you want breast implants. Amazing. But now you’re staring down a new question—Which shape should I get?

Round or teardrop? Natural or fuller? What works best for your body, lifestyle, and the look you’re going for?

This decision is more personal than most people think—and it’s not about copying a celebrity or going with what’s “popular.” Let’s break it down together so you can make an informed decision that feels good and looks great

 

Your Body Type Comes First

Every body is different—and that’s the point. The best results happen when your implant shape matches your own body structure, not someone else’s photo from Instagram.

  • Round implants might give you more upper pole fullness (translation: that “push-up bra” look).
  • Teardrop implants offer a more natural slope and mimic the shape of real breast tissue.

But what looks stunning on one woman may not be the best choice for you. That’s why the conversation should always start with your anatomy, your goals, and your vision—not trends.

 

Understanding Round Implants

Round breast implants are the most commonly used, and for good reason. They deliver volume across the entire breast, especially the top, which creates a youthful, lifted appearance.

They also come in different projection levels—from low to high—so you can customize how much the breast projects outward.

And the best part? If they rotate inside the body, it doesn’t change the shape—because they’re symmetrical all the way around.

 

Traveling for Surgery? Know This First

If you’re traveling more than an hour away, you’ll need to stay close to our office for at least 48 hours. If you’re flying in or driving over three hours, plan to stay within easy driving distance for 10 to 14 days.

Traveling increases risk for:

  • Blood clots (DVT), especially if you smoke or use birth control
  • Infection, due to air travel and general exposure

This is your health. These precautions are in place for a reason.

 

Drains and Scars

Some procedures may require post-op drains. Your nurse will give you all the details and how to care for them.
As for scars—yes, they happen. But we do everything we can to place incisions carefully and guide you through proper healing. Things like wound size, your skin type, age, and how you care for the area all play a role.
Once you’re healed, we’ll walk you through options for scar care.

 

Budget and Expectations

At your consultation, we’ll discuss:

Why BMI Matters

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. The ideal range is 20 to 25. A BMI over 30 increases surgical risk.

If you’re overweight, we recommend losing excess weight before surgery. It leads to more predictable, longer-lasting results. On the flip side, if you’re too lean and want fat transfer procedures, you might be asked to gain a few pounds.

 

Your Weight Affects Your Results

If you lose weight after surgery, you may have loose skin. If you gain weight, you could stretch out your results.Consistency is key. Weight stability before and after surgery will protect your investment and help you get the best outcome possible.

 

Medication Guidelines

Be transparent about every medication and supplement you’re taking. Some medications can interact with anesthesia and increase surgical risk.

Here’s what to stop before surgery:

Smoking Alcohol Hormones or birth control NSAIDs and aspirin Vitamin E Weight loss supplements

 

Thinking About Combining Procedures?

There are pros and cons.

Pros:

  • One recovery period
  • One anesthesia session
  • Lower overall cost
  • See multiple results at once
Cons:

  • Longer time under anesthesia
  • More strain on the body
  • Increased risk if not in good health

 

We’ll evaluate your health, goals, and timeline—and we’ll only move forward with what’s safe and realistic for you.

 

Meet Your Surgical Team

All procedures are performed at our accredited surgical center in Johns Creek, Georgia.

Our 14,000-square-foot facility includes:

  • Three state-of-the-art operating rooms

Informed Consent and Expectations

We want you to be fully informed. Everyone has some degree of natural asymmetry—and while cosmetic surgery can improve balance, it can’t make the human body perfectly symmetrical.

We’re committed to transparency, realistic expectations, and the best outcomes possible

 

Last Word: Your Best Results Start Long Before the Surgery

This is about setting you up for success—not just with the procedure itself, but with the planning, lifestyle, and choices leading up to it. Because surgery is only one part of your transformation. The rest? That’s where preparation, education, and trust come in. If you’re ready to take the next step, book a consultation with Dr. Curves. We’ll walk you through every detail, together.
