Asked By:Plucky676873 in Coles Corner, Washington

I am 5ft, 100 lbs. I had small A cup breast that inflated to D cups during all 3 pregnancies that quickly became deflated A cups. I had 300 cc utm low profile+ silicone implants put in. At about 3 weeks post op, I started to notice a ripple in my right breast. This has only continued to get worse on that breast and it can be felt on the left now. My PS said its because I do not have enough tissue to cover the whole implant, and there is nothing that he can do about it. Is this true?
