Home >> FAQ Section >> Breast Augmentation Questions Frequently Asked Questions What are contoured implants vs. round implants and is one best? Contoured implants, also known as... Contoured implants, also known as anatomical implants, are in the shape of a tear drop while round implants are simply round. The one that is right for you will depend on several factors and is best determined with the help of your doctor. Some people prefer the contoured implants, saying that they have a more natural shape since there is less fullness toward the top. However, other people believe that the most natural appearance is achieved by using round implants in the submuscular placement. Because contoured implants have a specific shape to them, problems can result if they shift or turn, which can require further surgery. To help reduce the risk of shifting, most contoured implants are textured. Main FAQ Area | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
