Am I experiencing implant rippling or double bubble? Can this be caused by loose skin? 6 months post op. (photos)

Hello, thank you for your question. Rippling is a common unpreventable thing that happens with all types of implants, even the highly cohesive silicone implants. There has to be some degree of softness in the implant but with that we sacrifice the rippling affect. This is more apparent in people with thinner skin and little breast tissue on top. Consider fat grafting as an option. Speak to your plastic surgeon for some options. In the meantime feel free to check out our website for some fun before /afters.

Thank you for your question about recovery from breast augmentation and for including photos.

From the angles of the photos you posted, rippling seems more probable in your case.

For specific questions like this and about your recovery in general, it is best to speak directly with your doctor or doctor’s representative – such as his or her nurse, or the physician on call for the practice.

You will likely get many differing opinions from members of the RealSelf Community, but they have not personally seen or examined you. Nobody should know you or your unique set of circumstances better than your doctor.

If you feel you are not being listened to or you are doubting your doctor’s recommendations, then it is certainly within your rights to seek a second opinion and get the advice from another board certified physician. This should be done through an in-person consultation with a thorough evaluation, including a review of your history, review of all prior treatment and with a physical examination.

Best Wishes.

Your heavy implants are bottoming out some due to the weight. I would suggest wearing an underwire bra during the day and a very good support bra when exercising.
