What could be the cause of this rippling on the left side of my breast when I bend over. It's more visible on the left than the right side. My left breast if naturally bigger and had 300cc vs the right breast was smaller and got 330cc but less ripping.

Answer: Why do you have rippling? Hard to say since you didn't mention the type of implant you received or it's location. In general, saline implants tend to ripple more than silicone. Also, implants placed in the subglandular position may ripple because of less tissue thickness on top of the implant compared to one placed underneath the muscle. Best to talk to your operating surgeon to discuss ways to improve/revise your result if the rippling is too bothersome. Good luck!

Answer: Rippling Thank you for your question and photographs. The rippling that you are describing is often the result of minimal breast tissue covering the implant and sometimes more prominent with saline implants as well as implant placement (under the muscle vs. on top of the muscle). Best to follow-up with your plastic surgeon to consider your result. Good luck.
