Breast Implant Shapes: Finding The Right Fit
When it comes to breast augmentation, one of the most important decisions you'll make is choosing the right implant shape. And just like trying on different pairs of jeans, it can be a bit of a process. But don't worry, we're here to help guide you through the process and make sure you end up with the perfect fit.
First things first, let's go over the basic options. There are two main types of breast implant shapes: round and teardrop (also known as anatomic).
Round Implants
Round implants, as the name suggests, are round in shape. They're the most popular choice among women looking to enhance their bust size. These implants are symmetrical, which means they look the same from all angles. This also means that they can be rotated in any direction, which can be helpful if you're looking to correct asymmetry.
Teardrop Implants
Teardrop implants, also known as anatomic implants, are shaped like a teardrop (surprising, we know). They're tapered at the top and fuller at the bottom, which is meant to mimic the natural shape of a breast. These implants are also known for having a more natural look and feel, but they do come with a few extra considerations. Since they're not symmetrical, they need to be placed in a specific direction, and they can't be rotated.
Now, let's talk about the pros and cons of each option.
Round Implants Pros
