Just wondering if anyone has an opinion on the new tear drop shaped implants.

Tear drop shaped implants? Gummy Bear implants my plastic surgeon did a youtube presentation on them. Here is the presentation.

I have silicone implants and like them they take some getting used to because they are not real and I miss much mine.

Thanks Sophie. I'm pretty thin as well, and I haven't heard much about the tear drop shaped implants except that they feel cold. I'm not sure where I heard that, but I run kind of cold anyway....except for the HOt Flashes of course. Keep me posted if you hear anything else. Thanks.

Due to complications, my reconstruction is not complete; however, I chose the "tear drop" implant due to the somewhat natural "sag" appearance it has. I'm 45 y/o with 5 children and I could not see myself with "perky" breasts. It was the second best option to using my own tissue (which was my first choice).
