When you arrive at the clinic, you will have a face-to-face consultation with your teardrop breast implant surgery. Part of the discussions will be about your expectations and goals.
Before the surgery commences, your surgeon will conduct physical and blood tests to make sure that you are in a good health state. Every patient is required to undergo medical tests so as to ensure that nothing can hinder the success of the surgery.

It takes an hour or two to complete the teardrop breast implant surgery –and it’s usually performed as an outpatient procedure. Here are the four main stages involved in this procedure:
Administering Anesthesia: When performing this surgery, your surgeon will give you intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. This is done so that you don’t feel any sort of pain or discomfort during the surgery. In most cases, patients are asked to decide the type of anesthesia they prefer.
Making Incisions: Once the anesthesia kicks in, what follows is the incision-making step. There are 3 different incision techniques that your surgeon can use. Your surgeon will help you decide the technique that best matches your anatomy and aesthetic goals. The three incision techniques are outlined below:
● Periareolar incision: This incision is made along the bottom edge of your areola.
● Inframammary incision: This incision is made under the breast along the bottom fold.
● Transaxillary incision: This incision is made right at the bottom of your underarm.
Inserting the implants: After the incisions are made, the next step is to insert the implants. There are 2 main options of placing implants, these are:
Your surgeon will use a placement teardrop breast implant type that is best for you, according to your body type, implant type, and the desired size of the breast.
Closing the incisions: The final step of the surgery is to close the incisions. Your surgeon will either use stitches, skin adhesive, or surgical tape to close the incision –this usually depends on the incision site. The treated area will then be bandaged.
Suppose your surgeon uses dissolvable stitches to close the incisions, expect them to be invisible within the next 6 to 8 weeks. But if the surgeon uses sutures that are not absorbable, they will be removed after 7 days

You may feel pain or soreness after the procedure is done. However, your surgeon may prescribe painkillers to relieve this pain and discomfort.
Will This Procedure Leave a Scar?

What Is the Difference Between Fat Transfer and Teardrop Breast Implant?
Mentor teardrop Breast Implants do not require additional surgery in other parts of the body as in the fat graft procedure. The cost of breast augmentation surgery with implants is much lower than that of fat grafting.
Finally, the implants can be easily removed, but it is more difficult to remove the fat after injection. The advantage of fat transfer is to get rid of the stubborn excess fat accumulated in certain parts of the patient's body.
