The selection of the breast implant to be used is dependent on the dimensions of your breasts, the shape of your breasts, your skin elasticity and thickness as well as your expectations of the breast shape you want.

For example, if you want to have a fuller upper half of your breast, then a high profile round implant is generally used. If you have more breast tissue in your upper half of your breast with a very short distance between your nipple and your lower breast crease, then you may require a tear drop implant. This is to expand the lower half of your breast in order to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing look.
