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 FirstEvery 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.
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 FirstIf 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:

Drains and Scars
Some procedures may require post-op drains. Your nurse will give you all the details and how to care for them.

Why BMI MattersBMI (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.
