​What are Teardrop Breast Implants?

Breast Augmentation

Teardrop breast implants are an alternative to round breast implants. Many women opt for teardrop implants due to their more natural look and feel vs. the round implants that have been the staple of plastic surgeons for many years.

They come in several brands such as: Mentor, Allergan and Silimed. Despite the marketing hype, whichever major brand you choose is just as good as the other. Each plastic surgeon has his/her favorite brand that has worked well for them (and their patients) over the years.

Originally designed for women who needed reconstructive breast surgery, tear drop breast implants were recently approved for use in America by the FDA in 2012. Prior to that, they were only available in many parts of Europe and select medical study centers.

As the years went by, more and more women opted for a more natural look and feel vs. the traditional high cleavage round implants that have become synonymous with the word “breast implants”.

Why are They Called Teardrop Breast Implants?

Teardrop breast implants are aptly named because they resemble a human tear. The teardrop breast shape has a wide, round base that gently slopes upward, giving a more natural appearance. They are designed to maintain their shape and are sometimes referred to as “Gummy drop” or “Form-stable”. A different way to describe it would be to think of a piece of memory foam. As you press on it, it naturally depresses. When you release pressure, the memory foam reverts to its original shape.

They are also designed in a wide variety of shapes. While the general profile is that of a teardrop, you can find ones that have a “tall” profile and a “wide” profile. The reason for this is that one size does not fit all. Women’s bodies are unique and as such the surgeon will make a recommendation as to which profile/implant will look right on your body. Ultimately, the final decision lies in your hands.

What Benefits Do Teardrop Breast Implants Have?

Teardrop breast implants were originally intended for women who were looking to have reconstructive breast surgery, but after a few years more and more women started opting for the teardrop look vs. the older “rounded” look. At the end of the day, you’re probably going to get less attention (from both men and women) if you opt for teardrops over rounded implants.

Teardrops are also great for women who have very little breast tissue to begin with due to the fact that shaped implants (teardrops) help define the shape of the breast without creating the unnatural looking round shape that’s a telltale sign of older implants.

They are also good if the nipple on the breast is in a position that is lower than ideal, and the person wants to improve the nipple position without undergoing a breast lift.

Aside from coming in many different sizes and shapes, teardrops also come with one of two kinds of fills: Saline and Silicone. Each has its own benefits:

Types of Fill for Teardrop Breast Implants

Saline

  • Requires smaller incision than it would for a silicon implant of the same size.
  • Generally speaking, saline implants tend to cost less than silicon.
  • If a saline implant breaks or ruptures, it will be completely harmless. The size and shape of the breast will instantly deflate, and it will be very noticeable that there is a problem (and you should call the doctor ASAP).
  • Saline implants have a flexible fill volume that the doctor can adjust according to aesthetics as well as the shape/size that you desire.

Silicone

  • Implants are filled with a very thick gel, that holds shape and gives off the feel of real breast tissue.
  • Silicone implants tend to have less wrinkles and rippling than saline ones.
  • If silicone implants rupture, the breast will retain its natural shape and no gel will be spilled out into the body.
  • These kinds of implants have a standard fill volume for predictable results. What you see is what you get.

I Want Teardrop Breasts! Now What?

First you need to schedule an appointment with your doctor. Keep in mind that while teardrop breasts are meant for a more natural look, they’re probably not going to be as noticeable as rounded ones are (due to the lack of cleavage on a teardrop vs. round implant). They also tend to cost a bit more than the rounded ones.

When you talk with your surgeon, be sure to ask as many questions as you can. You can never ask too many questions regarding the type of implants you choose.

Teardrop breast implants are also more technically challenging for the surgeon and the end result can be highly contingent upon the skill of the surgeon. They can be hard to place in the right area for a natural look. If you choose an experienced plastic surgeon, you can feel confident that you will be happy and satisfied with how your new breasts look.

Frequently Asked Questions about Teardrop Breasts

Are there any specific situations or body types where teardrop implants are more suitable than round implants?

Teardrop implants are often recommended for women who have less breast tissue or who are looking for a more subtle enhancement. They can also be a good option for women who want to correct asymmetry or restore breast shape after pregnancy or weight loss.

Are there any potential risks or complications associated with teardrop breast?

Like any surgical procedure, breast augmentation with teardrop implants carries risks such as infection, bleeding, and changes in nipple sensation. There is also a risk of the implant rotating or shifting position, which may require additional surgery to correct.

In the hands of a skilled surgeon, there should be little to no complications as long as post-op instructions are followed.

How is the surgical procedure for teardrop implants different from that of round implants?

The surgical procedure for teardrop implants is similar to that of round implants, involving incisions, placement of the implant, and closure of the incisions. However, the shape of the implant requires careful positioning to ensure a natural-looking result.

What is the recovery process like for teardrop implants, and are there any special considerations compared to round implants?

The recovery process for teardrop implants will involve some discomfort, swelling, and bruising. Patients are usually advised to avoid strenuous activities and to wear a supportive bra to help with healing.

Your doctor will provide post-op instructions to follow as your body heals from the surgery. There should be no difference in the recovery from teardrop breast implants when compared to traditional round implants.

Can teardrop implants provide a more natural-looking result than round implants, especially for women with less breast tissue?

Yes, teardrop implants are often recommended for women with less breast tissue or those looking for a more natural-looking result. The teardrop shape can help create a gentle slope and a more natural contour, which may be preferred by some women over the round, more noticeable look of round implants.

How long do teardrop implants typically last, and are there any maintenance or follow-up procedures required?

Teardrop implants are designed to be long-lasting, but like any breast implant, they may need to be replaced or removed at some point due to complications or changes in the breast tissue. Regular follow-up appointments with your plastic surgeon are recommended to monitor the implants and ensure they are functioning properly.

Are there any specific activities or lifestyle factors that could impact the suitability or longevity of teardrop implants compared to round implants?

While teardrop implants are designed to provide a more natural-looking result, they may be more prone to rotation or shifting position compared to round implants. Patients are advised to avoid activities that put pressure on the breasts, such as heavy lifting or strenuous exercise, to reduce the risk of complications.

Breast Implants Can Affect Your Health

Implants won’t automatically boost your self-esteem, improve your love life, kickstart your career, or fix depression or social anxiety. More serious underlying issues should be addressed with a professional before proceeding with breast augmentation. If you’re unhappy in many areas of your life, implants aren’t a magic cure-all, but if you’re simply unsatisfied with the size or shape of your natural breasts, implants may help create the change you seek. Talk to your plastic surgeon about your reasons for getting implants and your expectations post-surgery to make the best decision for you.

Breast implants can also have a huge effect on your mental health as well. While your physical enhancements will be visible from the outside, the confidence you gain through feeling good about yourself can manifest itself in other ways as well. Don’t just look at implants as a way to enhance your physical features, but to also enhance your inner beauty as well.

internal bra surgery

Internal Bra Surgery – What Are They and Do They Work?

Breast Augmentation

In the world of plastic surgery, advancements are constantly being made to ensure safe and effective procedures. One such innovation that has gained attention in recent years is the concept of the “internal bra.”

The word “internal bra” is often misinterpreted as a less invasive alternative to breast augmentation surgeries, that will allow for the breasts to appear shapelier without the need for further surgery. In reality, internal bras are typically used in conjunction with these types of surgery as another way to help prop up the breast and help to reduce sagging as the breast tissue and skin lose their elasticity.

An internal bra can help produce a shapelier breast on its own, but in most cases is used in addition to other types of breast surgery.

One thing that internal bras typically can’t do is replace your need to wear an actual external bra though. They cannot provide the overall support that a normal, clothing-based, bra will provide.

What is an Internal Bra?

An internal bra is a mesh-like supportive structure inserted within the breast during a surgical procedure to provide added support and longevity to breast augmentation or breast lift results. Think of it as a hidden support system that helps maintain the shape and firmness of the breasts over time.

It is designed to help support the underside of the breast and to help slow down the natural loss of elasticity in the skin and breast tissue which can cause sagging.

How Does the Internal Bra Work?

The internal bra works by utilizing a mesh-like material or sutures to create a supportive framework within the breast tissue. This framework helps distribute the weight of the breast evenly, reducing the strain on the natural breast tissue and skin. By providing additional support, the internal bra aims to enhance the longevity of the results achieved through breast augmentation or breast lift surgery.

The mesh product that Dr. Adams uses during this type of procedure is a biodegradable material that is designed to help the body produce its own new collagen overtime so that once the mesh appliance dissolves, the new collagen is left to help support the breast.

This is a great option as it allows for your body to naturally do the supporting as opposed to having a foreign object under your breast providing this additional level of support.

When is an Internal Bra Used?

Breast Augmentation

An internal bra is often used in conjunction with breast augmentation procedures. It provides additional support for breast implants, helping to maintain the desired shape and preventing sagging over time.

Breast Lift

For patients seeking a breast lift, the internal bra can be a valuable addition. It supports the reshaped breast tissue, ensuring a lifted and youthful appearance for a more extended period.

On Its Own

An internal bra procedure can be performed on its own, without the addition of a breast augmentation or traditional breast lift as well. The mesh product will be inserted below the natural breast, just as it would if you were using it in conjunction with an implant, and it will help to push up and shape your breast in a way that is more appealing to you.

As with any breast augmentation procedures, it’s important to talk to your board-certified plastic surgeon and discuss the different options available to you. They will know which procedure will give you the results you are looking for.

An internal bra procedure on its own may not provide the results you’re looking for all the time, and skin and tissue will continue to lose elasticity as you age, so typically, utilizing the internal bra method in addition to implants or a traditional breast lift, will yield the best results.

Do Internal Bras Work?

The effectiveness of internal bras in breast augmentation and lifts has been supported by positive outcomes in many cases. However, individual results may vary, and it’s essential to have realistic expectations.

Benefits

  1. Longevity: The internal bra contributes to the longevity of breast augmentation and lift results by providing ongoing support.
  2. Natural Appearance: When performed by a skilled surgeon, the internal bra can contribute to a natural and aesthetically pleasing breast appearance.
  3. Reduced Sagging: By distributing the weight more evenly, the internal bra helps minimize sagging over time.

Considerations

  1. Skill of the Surgeon: The success of an internal bra procedure relies heavily on the surgeon’s expertise. It is crucial to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in this technique.
  2. Patient Factors: Individual factors, such as skin elasticity and lifestyle choices, can impact the long-term results of an internal bra procedure.

The Internal Bra Surgical Process

  1. Consultation

Before undergoing an internal bra procedure, patients typically have a consultation with their plastic surgeon. During this consultation, the surgeon will assess the patient’s goals, evaluate their current breast anatomy, and discuss the suitability of the internal bra for their specific case.

  1. Anesthesia

Like many surgical procedures, internal bra surgery is performed under anesthesia to ensure the patient’s comfort and safety throughout the operation.

  1. Incisions

Small incisions are made in inconspicuous areas, such as the natural breast crease or along the areola, to minimize visible scarring.

  1. Placement of Internal Bra

The surgeon then creates the internal bra by strategically placing sutures or a mesh-like material within the breast tissue. This supportive structure is tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy.

  1. Closing Incisions

Once the internal bra is in place, the incisions are carefully closed with sutures.

Should I Get Internal Bra Surgery?

The internal bra is a promising advancement in plastic surgery, offering additional support to enhance the outcomes of breast augmentation and lift procedures. While it has shown positive results in many cases, the success of the internal bra relies on factors such as the surgeon’s skill and individual patient characteristics.

If you are considering a breast augmentation or lift with an internal bra, it is crucial to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who can assess your unique needs and provide personalized recommendations. With proper care and attention, the internal bra can be a valuable tool in achieving natural-looking and long-lasting breast enhancement results.

5 Best Bras for Implants and Breast Augmentation Recovery

5 Best Bras for Implants and Breast Augmentation Recovery

Breast Augmentation, , , , , ,

After investing in enhanced breasts, many women are eager to shop for bras to fit their new shape and aid in recovery. Before making a purchase, there are a few things to consider about wearing bras after breast augmentation surgery.

What You Need to Know About Wearing Bras with Implants

After breast augmentation surgery, your surgeon should give you specific instructions on caring for your breasts as they heal, including when to begin wearing a bra and what type. Some doctors recommend patients go bra-less for a few days after surgery to allow the breasts to heal properly and comfortably. Others recommend specific post-surgical bras to reduce swelling and prevent the implants from shifting during the recovery period.

While recommendations on immediate post-surgical bra selection vary, most agree that women shouldn’t wear a traditional underwire bra until six weeks after the augmentation surgery. Wearing a normal bra too soon can cause problems with the healing process and cause the implants to settle incorrectly.

When it’s time to shop for your augmented breasts, it’s a good idea to visit a store in-person and get re-sized. While you probably asked your surgeon for a particular size, the size of the implant and the size of your bra cup can be different. A professional fitting, free at many lingerie stores and departments, will allow you to shop for the best size for your new breasts.

Even after your fitting, try on a variety of sizes and styles to see what works best. Implants can be wider or fuller than natural breasts, so you may need to size them up to find the most comfortable, flattering fit.

Key Features to Look for in a Recovery Bra

When shopping for a recovery bra, consider the following features:

  • Soft, non-irritating fabric to prevent friction against sensitive incisions.
  • Front-closure or adjustable straps to easily accommodate post-operative swelling.
  • Adequate support without underwire to minimize pressure on the healing breasts.
  • Breathable material to reduce the risk of infection and encourage air circulation.
  • Adjustable hooks and clasps to accommodate changes in breast size during recovery.

Bras for Immediate Post-Op Recovery

Supportive Front-Closure Bras

Front-closure bras are ideal for the immediate post-operative phase. Their easy-on, easy-off design minimizes arm movement, reducing strain on incisions. Look for bras with wide, padded straps and a supportive band for optimal comfort.

Compression Bras with Adjustable Straps

Compression bras provide gentle pressure, reducing swelling and promoting healing. Opt for bras with adjustable straps, as they allow you to customize the fit as your swelling subsides. Seamless, moisture-wicking fabric further enhances comfort.

Bras for Mid-Stage Recovery

Wireless Bras with Molded Cups

As you transition to mid-stage recovery, wireless bras with molded cups offer light support and shaping. Molded cups prevent friction against incisions and provide a smooth silhouette under clothing.

Sports Bras with Moisture-Wicking Fabric

Engaging in light physical activity during mid-stage recovery can be beneficial. Sports bras with moisture-wicking fabric provide support and help manage sweat, keeping you comfortable as you gradually resume your routine.

Bras for Late-Stage Recovery

Lace Overlay Bras for Gentle Support

During the late-stage recovery, lace overlay bras offer gentle support and a feminine touch. Look for bras with soft, stretchy lace that accommodates changes in breast size. The absence of underwire ensures continued comfort.

Bralettes with Removable Padding

Bralettes are perfect for the final stages of recovery when comfort is paramount. Choose bralettes with removable padding, allowing you to customize the level of support. Their soft, breathable fabric minimizes irritation.

Specific Types of Breast Augmentation Recovery Bras

Lipoelastic Bras

Immediately post-surgery, your surgeon may recommend a post-surgical compression bra during the healing process. Lipoelastic bras provide compression to keep the breasts supported after surgery while the breast tissue grows around the implants.

Lipoelastic’s post-operative bras feature specially manufactured fabric that prevents bacterial growth after surgery by wicking sweat, and helps reduce the risk of infection. Compression bras from Lipoelastic can speed the healing process, reduce scarring and bruising, and prevent implants from drooping or shifting unevenly.

Brilliant Contours Bras

Brilliant Contours is a female-owned company on a mission to provide physical and emotional support after breast surgery. Brilliant Contours bras are sports recovery bras that provide soft support in patterns and colors designed to help women feel beautiful during their recovery time. According to the company, the bras can be worn immediately after surgery, and with their comfortable fit and fun fabrics, they can also be used as long-term sports bras.

MaCom Signature Bra

The MaCom Signature bra is a best seller in the post-surgical bra market. The bra is seamless and wireless to avoid irritation to tender, fragile, post-surgery breast tissue. The bra features an adjustable front closure, and the cups are fully expandable to mold to the new post-surgery cup size. The fully expandable cups provide customized stability and compression for the implants as they heal.

The Breast Whisperer Bra

The Breast Whisperer Bra is an anti-gravity bra for women with implants for comfortable nighttime wear. Created by a plastic surgeon and a fashion designer, the Breast Whisperer is seamless and wireless with breathable fabric. Its unique, lightweight design helps lift and maintain shape for women with implants.

Plunge-type bras

If you’re not looking for a bra designed for post-surgical breasts and your surgeon has said you can now wear a bra, you may want to try a plunge bra. Many women need to find a new favorite style of bra once they have implants. Plunge style bras are flattering for breasts that are fuller and firmer, which is ideal for women with implants. They also have shorter underwires than full-coverage styles, which can help provide a better fit after breast augmentation.

The Right Bra is Important for Healing

We hope this list helps you decide the best option for your breasts. Remember, the most important thing you can do to keep your post-surgical breasts safe and comfortable is to follow your surgeon’s instructions. Your surgeon may not want you to wear any bra at all for the first few days of recovery, or may specify a particular bra that should be worn when your breasts are ready.

If you choose to receive a breast augmentation from Dr. Adams, your breasts will be ready to be placed back in the comfort of a bra in no time. As an international authority on breast augmentation, Dr. Adams has implemented several techniques that allow over 99% of his patients to return to normal activities within 24 hours after breast augmentation surgery.

skin quality breast augmentation surgery

What Does Skin Quality Have to do With Breast Surgery?

Breast Augmentation

There are many things to consider when making the decision to have breast surgery, but something a lot of people don’t talk about is the quality of your skin.

Were you aware that the quality of your skin could have an impact on the results of your surgery?

The quality of a person’s skin can help with a number of factors when it comes to having breast surgery. Your incisions can heal quicker, you’ll have less scarring, and healthier skin has more elasticity which can help the breasts retain their shape after surgery, and in the future.

There are a number of reasons why healthy skin is important in our everyday lives, but it will truly benefit you to have healthy skin if you’re considering cosmetic surgery, especially in the breasts.

Breast Surgery and Healthy Skin

Breast surgery has gained immense popularity over the years, with more and more individuals seeking cosmetic or reconstructive procedures. While the focus is often on the type of surgery and the choice of implants, the quality of the patient’s skin also plays a part in achieving the best results possible.

Understanding the impact of skin quality on breast surgery is vital for both patients and plastic surgeons to ensure successful outcomes and overall satisfaction.

What Is Healthy Skin?

Before we dive into the connection between skin quality and breast surgery, let’s first take a look at what it means when we’re talking about skin quality.

Skin quality refers to the overall health, elasticity, and texture of the skin. Factors such as hydration, collagen levels, and skin thickness contribute to its quality.

Impact of Skin Quality on Breast Surgery

Skin Elasticity

One of the main things that can affect breast surgery results is skin elasticity. Elasticity refers to the skin’s ability to bounce back after being stretched. During breast augmentation or breast reduction, the skin needs to accommodate the new volume or reduced size of the breasts. If the skin lacks elasticity, the breasts may appear saggy or fail to achieve the desired shape.

Scarring and Healing

The healing process after breast surgery is extremely important, and skin quality significantly influences how your body will handle healing. Healthy skin tends to heal better and may result in less noticeable scarring.

Even though plastic surgeons take great care in incision placement to minimize scarring, the quality of the skin itself also plays a role.

Implant Placement

For breast augmentation, the placement of implants can also be influenced by the patient’s skin quality. If the skin is thin or lacks support, the surgeon may need to adjust the implant placement to achieve a more natural and aesthetically pleasing result.

What Factors Impact Skin Quality?

Several factors can affect the quality of the skin on our bodies. Knowing what can cause your skin to become unhealthy can help you to prevent it from happening in the future.

Remember, unhealthy skin doesn’t mean that you can’t undergo breast surgery, it just means that there may be things to consider regarding healing and the final results.

Age

As we age, the production of collagen and elastin in the skin decreases, leading to a loss of elasticity and firmness.

Sun Exposure

Excessive sun exposure can cause premature aging and damage to the skin. UV rays break down collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles and sagging. Protecting the skin from the sun’s harmful rays is essential for maintaining good skin quality.

Genetics

Genetics also play a role in determining skin quality. Some individuals naturally have more resilient and youthful-looking skin, while others may be more susceptible to unhealthier skin.

Lifestyle and Diet

Unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as smoking and poor nutrition, can take a toll on the skin. A balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle will positively impact skin quality and overall well-being.

Preparing for Breast Surgery with Skin Quality in Mind

Before undergoing breast surgery, it is essential to consider skin quality and take necessary steps to optimize it for the procedure.

Consultation with a Plastic Surgeon

A thorough consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the first step in understanding how skin quality can affect the outcome of your breast surgery. Your surgeon will be able to examine your breasts and be able to determine the appropriate approach.

Pre-surgery Skincare

Engaging in a pre-surgery skincare regimen, as advised by the plastic surgeon, can help improve skin quality and prepare it for the surgical process. This may involve moisturizing, avoiding sun exposure, and using medical-grade skincare products.

Post-Surgery Care for Optimal Skin Recovery

Proper post-surgery care is essential for ensuring that the skin heals well and maintains its quality after breast surgery. Following your surgeons’ instructions will give you the best results when it comes to healing. You’ll have less scarring, less pain, and be back on your feet in a timely manner.

Long-term Impact of Skin Quality on Breast Surgery Results

While breast surgery can provide excellent results, it’s essential to consider the long-term impact of skin quality.

Aging Effects

As the skin naturally ages, it may affect the appearance of the breasts. Patients should have realistic expectations about the potential changes over time.

Revision Surgeries

In some cases, breast revision surgeries may be necessary to maintain or improve breast appearance. Good skin quality can make revision surgeries more straightforward.

Should I Get Breast Surgery if I Have Unhealthy Skin?

Skin quality is a crucial factor in the success of breast surgery, influencing everything from scarring to implant placement and long-term results. Patients must prioritize skincare and consult with experienced plastic surgeons to achieve the best possible outcomes. By considering skin quality, individuals can embark on their breast surgery journey with confidence, knowing that they are making informed decisions for a more positive and transformative experience.
