I recently had a an implant revision from a saline HP to silicone mod profile implant. Both were under the muscle. At the 2 week mark I started seeing and feeling major rippling on both sides. I think the implant is too wide. Would a HP implant reduce the rippling?

Answer: Implant rippling Implant rippling in much more if an issue with saline than silicone implants, so it might be something else. In any case it us rather early to consider further surgery. Wait a while and if it persists, bring it to your surgeon's attention.

Answer: Ways to reduce rippling It is unusual for patients to appreciate more rippling with a silicone implant than with a saline implant. It is usually the other way around. But I suppose it is possible. I doubt that there would be much improvement with changing the silicone moderate profile implant back to a high profile. You would probably have better luck with either tightening the implant pocket or adding fat grafting to the areas of skin where the rippling is occurring. This might be a difficult issue to correct and an exam would be invaluable to help determine exactly what your options might be.
