2 Weeks Post Op and Rippling and Bottoming Out? (photo)

I have terrible rippling in cleavage and upper pole and they already seem to be bottoming out. I specifically wanted that bigger, fuller, firmer, faker look with lots of upper pole. My PS had told me I have to wait 6 months and see what happens but I really dont know where to go from here???

2 Weeks Post Op and Rippling and Bottoming Out?

Choosing a size for a new implant patient can be a challenge, but is easy compared with changing sizes for a patient who already has implants. I often suggest a "rice test", in which patients get a loose fitting sports bra and fill a nylon stocking with rice until they reach the desired size, and measure the rice volume to get at least some idea of how much larger an implant to use. And it is not foolproof. (Going down a size is even tougher in that there is no such aid to help decide... more
