Slight rippling on underside of my breast. Will it lessen as I drop and fluff?

April 27, 2015
Asked By:LittleAL in Connecticut, CT

I am only 3 weeks post op, and my surgeon told me that this is common and normal. She said it will lessen as I am still in the process of dropping/fluffing and having my muscles relax. I wanted other opinions. Will the feeling of the implant and the slight rippling feeling on the underside of my breast lessen as my breasts continue to heal And the muscles loosen up and the implants fluff?
