Should I overfill the Ideal implants closer to 100% capacity to prevent rippling? I'm 5.4 ft, 108 lbs, rather thin breast tissue

Asked By:IDEALimplant2018 in California, CA

Greetings. I noted in some RealSelf reviews, patients had their Ideal implants filled closer to the minimum capacity & experienced severe rippling. E.g., one lady had the 300 cc implant size filled to 320 on the left, and to 335 on the right. While the right implant is fine (as it's closer to the max capacity of 340), the left had some severe rippling issue. Could you please tell me from your experience if you had any patient complained about rippling from Ideal & whether they had min/max fill?
