Teardrop vs Round

Due to the recent recall I have had my surgery postponed (it is now 17 months living with a expander). I was to get a teardrop implant that my surgeon recommended last year but as he is on leave I have a new surgeon who told me it’s up to me and he can’t advise which one is best. After discussions with him I have chosen the round. I would appreciate people, who have had either implants, to comment about what they think of their reconstruction. Please no comments from people that don’t have either of these implants. Thanks 
  • I don't think teardrop are now available at all due the texture of them.
    I had teardrop tissue expander but a roubd implant. 
    The upper polar of breast is better in a bra with round but possibly it looked better without.
  • Personal choice!
    Content with my shape!
    No right or wrong choice it's what suits you and you are comfortable with!
    Take care 
  • @Barks34. I have both. In my reconstructed breast I have a round implant. In my other natural breast I have a teardrop shaped implant. They both look good, in my opinion.
