What can I do about my implant fold?

February 27, 2015
Asked By:gr8ocmom in Orange County, CA

My new silicone implants are almost 6 months old and my L side seems to be folded just a bit. I feel rippling under my nipple, actually on both sides but just more noticeable on my L side. I was advised that another surgery was not needed at this time. Just to massage more (to get the implant to settle) and to wear bigger bras (possibly to tight). Anyone had the same issue? If so, what did you do?
