i had a breast lift with breast augmentation revision about 3 weeks ago to remove some scar tissue. I also went down in size slightly from mod profile plus 500ccs to 457ccs same profile. I had some rippling in the clevage area and was told that a lift would help resolve the rippling issue. however i could still see some slight rippling now. Will this resolve on its own as i continue to heal or will i need to correct with alloderm?
As was mentioned previously, the most important issues concerning wrinkling and rippling in the upper portion of the breasts after breast augmentation surgery is the thickness of the breast skin and breast tissues (coverage) in that area. A key question is where the implants are placed. In patients with thin coverage, we recommend that the implants are place behind the muscle to minimize rippling/wrinkling. If you have them above the muscle, then this might be a consideration for you. Otherwise, you may consider procedures which thicken the coverage, either AlloDerm or fat grafting (a technique which Dr. Del Vecchio is an expert in) can help. Finally, another question is the type of implant--saline or silicone. I am assuming that you have silicone implants; but if not, then I would recommend that you have them switched to silicone implants for several reasons, including amelioration of your rippling. Good luck with achieving your goals.
