Fat Transfer to Upper Breasts to Hide Rippling from Implants?

rainyrainy
Due to some reason, I can only have breast implants placed over the muscle. I know that chances that I'll ripple are high, especially since my upper chest is very 'bony' with little fatty tissue and thin skin.I am concerned about the implants being palpable and visible. I'm hoping that while having my breast augmentation, fat transfer could be done at the same time on the tops and sides of the breasts to provide better tissue coverage for the implants, and to camouflage the bony chest. Is this possible? What would be the average cost for this?
