You didn't mention how long it has been since your surgery. The rippling may improve if your surgery was recent as it takes time for the tissues to settle. If it has been six months or more you are not likely to see much more improvement without further intervention.

It takes several weeks for the breast to settle and take shape. Follow up with your surgeon so he can monitor your progress.
Thank you for your question. The rippling will likely not go away and may even increase over time as the tissue swelling continues to resolve. This can be a difficult problem especially in revision surgery where the soft tissues have been affected through previous surgery. One alternative would be the placement of fat which would essentially allow the transfer of volume from one part of your body to the breasts. This would improve the contour deformity and also facilitate further volume if you desired to increase your breast size. In any case I would certainly recommend a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in these matters. I hope this helps and have a wonderful day. Dr. Kayser - Detroit
