Is my silicone subpectoral implant rippling on one side only be due to damage of the implant?

Asked By:fstheyn in Denver, CO

I have silicone cohesive gel implants, they were placed submuscular and I have rippling in just the right breast. My breast tissue is very thin overall but Left is perfectly ok. There was muscle contraction on the right at first but It seems that the rippling is increasing but I am also a figure competitor so my body fat is lower now than before. Implants are 8 years old. Could there be damage to the implant? Rippling is felt extensively but only slightly visible in certain positions.
