I’ve had my breast augmentation in August 19. A little over a year of my op I noticed visible rippling in my breast. I have not lost any weight since my op. I have seen my surgeon twice now and have been recommended to put on weight. After explaining I can’t put on weight as I’ve tried for many years it’s been left to no answers of what to do next. I am very insecure about wear tops that you can notice my breast. I’m so unhappy. What should I do?

Answer: Rippling Dear Trustworthy9324, Saline implants tend to ripple more than silicone implants in general. Rippling can result due to many factors including thin skin, poor implant position etc. Sometimes, you can over fill the saline implant to help a bit, but this may not feel as natural. Another option is fat transfer. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will et more information and recommendations.

Answer: What to do about breast rippling? (photos) Visible rippling can be improved by placing the implant under the muscle, switching to silicone, fat grafting to the breast, or the addition of a dermal matrix. Consult with another plastic surgeon for a second opinion.
