I have round also. I have had them 6+ years. I do Not have to wear a bra and they look good under clothes

I'm glad to hear you are happy with your reconstruction. I had a unilateral mastectomy so my reconstructed side is much flatter than my non-affected side (the reason why I asked about an anatomically correct implant) so they used a 550cc implant to help fill the area. Part of the problem was that I didn't have enough fat for fat contouring. But the implant is big enough that it has migrated partially into my armpit. I have an air bubble or something on the lower part of my reconstructed breast. It just showed up (3 months after surgery and unfortunately it does show through my bra. It pokes out a little bit. I can't get into the PS until Feb. 7th but at least I am not in pain. Thank You for responding to my question..

I don't know what anatomically correct implants are. I had round implants, and they look pretty good to me, especially when wearing clothes.
