I had a nipple/skin sparing prophylactic bilateral mastectomy with tissue expander placement in June of this year. In October I exchanged for anatomical silicone implants (Mentor MemoryShape). I am having some rippling which seems to be getting worse. Its somewhat visible on the right when I stand upright, but really apparent on both sides when I bend over.
