Dents On Top Of Saline Implants

Most likely one of the implants is leaking. If it's that bad, you have lost a lot of breast tissue. This requires observation. If it continues getting worse, then it is a leak of the implant and you will know yourself if you are loosing weight in the breast area. Most often the implant has to be removed and replaced.

Severe rippling

Based on what you wrote/your question, I am assuming the primary issue is severe rippling/loose skin. It also sounds like you currently have saline implants under the muscle. Without a physical exam, it is impossible to make any recommendations. However, options to improve your current condition include transition to a silicone gel implant, tightening up any loose skin with a lift, an internal support with a dermal matrix, or even fat grafting. However, please visit... more

Dents

If the implants are under the muscle, then changing to silicone is an option for rippling or adding in a biologic mesh such as alloderm, flexHD, strattice, the list goes on.
