Teardrop-shaped implants and their advantages

It is a good thing that patients are no longer passive sufferers, but rather the doctor’s partners and collaborators. However, the more freedom the doctor’s patient has, the more important it is that they have sufficient information to make their decisions. In the case of breast augmentation, for example, choosing the final implant is not a straightforward choice. How does one decide on a specific type of implant when there are so many on the market?

Types of breast implants

One might almost be tempted to rejoice, because despite differences in size and numerous details, breast implants fall into two basic groups – teardrop-shaped and round. Other distinguishing features of implants include their surface texture, the type of silicone and, of course, their size. If you’re thinking of having a breast augmentation, it’s absolutely essential to decide early on which of the two types available you’d prefer:

• Teardrop-shaped implants resemble a teardrop, which means that their shape closely mimics the natural contour of the female breast. 
• Round implants fulfil the general idea of perfect, symmetrical breasts, which mortal women are rarely born with. The breasts are of equal volume on both sides from the nipples outwards; they are, in fact, small hemispheres. The effect on the décolletage is stunning, but it is usually obvious that plastic surgery has been carried out.

Teardrop-shaped implants ensure that only those you tell will know about your breast augmentation.
If this is exactly what you want, choose teardrop-shaped implants. 

Teardrop-shaped implants are truly anatomical

If you haven’t yet noticed that breasts are actually teardrop-shaped, take a look at them in the mirror from the side. You’ll see that they widen very gradually from the top, are at their fullest roughly around the nipples, and taper slightly – but not excessively – towards the bottom. This is why teardrop-shaped implants are called anatomical. They genuinely aim to respect the body’s natural anatomy and replicate the structure and shape of breast tissue as closely as possible. Another advantage is their greater cohesiveness, meaning they retain their shape better. How do these characteristics show on the outside? In a standard bra, the breasts look full, and they appear natural in a low-cut neckline.  

If you want a firm and natural-looking bust, your choice is clear. Opt for anatomical implants.

Methods of implant insertion

Usually, an incision is made at the lower edge of the areola, in the armpit or in the inframammary fold. The implant is then placed beneath the pectoral muscle or behind the mammary gland.

 You do not need to know the exact details of how the entire operation is carried out. Choose an experienced surgeon who knows exactly where to make the incision. With an anatomical implant, the result will look natural.

Prices for different types of breast augmentation

You get what you pay for, which is why anatomical implants tend to be slightly more expensive than round ones. The cost of a breast augmentation includes the surgeon’s fees, anaesthesia and other medication, any necessary hospital stay and additional tests, and typically amounts to around 30,000–40,000. The cost of the implants roughly doubles the total amount. However, if you’re having your breasts enhanced, it’s worth investing in implants, as the price of breast contouring – a procedure without implants and involving larger scars – is also around 50,000 CZK.

Don’t be afraid to invest in the beauty of your breasts. Choose discreet, high-quality implants and combine reshaping with anatomical augmentation.

Anatomical implants under discussion

Look for the opinions of women who have already undergone breast augmentation to find out what life is like for them with teardrop-shaped, or anatomical, implants. Don’t be put off by the lower number of reviews. Anatomical implants tend to be chosen by women who value their privacy and discreetly keep their artificial breasts to themselves.
