I have visible rippling on inner left implant. It’s over muscle & I’m pretty thin. 1 - How can I reduce the visibility of rippling w OUT going under knife & getting new implants? 2 - What is BALLPARK cost for fat transfer to this area? 3 - Do I need to be certain body fat % to get fat transfer? Note: please don’t say “why don’t you consult your doctor” or “consider gaining weight” or “understand implants aren't perfect!” Lol Tysm!
Answer: You may need more than just fat grafting You seem to have severe rippling. The things that can be done are:Replace implants with cohesive gel type. Place implants under the muscle.Add fat to the subcutaneous tissue with fat injection. I don't think there is a simple solution.

Answer: Natural Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting / Fat Transfer to Breasts You need a formal evaluation by a licensed plastic surgeon and expert in breast augmentations to determine what is best for you and your goals. Proper breast enlargement is not a ""cookie-cutter"" procedure where the same technique is applied to every patient. Every woman who comes to my practice has unique needs and different goals for her breast augmentation. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I always listen carefully to each woman's concerns and thoroughly discuss the key points of the procedure. For those women who prefer a ""Natural Breast Augmentation"" without implants, fat grafting is a safe, natural, and minimally invasive approach that offers low-maintenance, long-term improvement in size and contour. After harvesting the fat from your body, we purify and enrich the fat before injecting it in the desired areas to improve volume and shape. My experience performing thousands of aesthetic breast surgeries in a wide anatomical range of patients enables me to achieve consistently beautiful and natural results that are customized to each patient’s body type and goals. These results are the product of extensive communication, meticulous planning, and skillfully executed surgery. I suggest consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon and expert in Breast Augmentation surgeries. - Dr. Cohen

Answer: Rippling Dear AnnaDiC3nz0, Based on your photo, it looks like you have pretty severe rippling which in most cases can be improved with fat transfer. If that doesn't work, then you might need implants exchange and placement of implants under the muscle. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Rippling Just based on your photo, your implants appear to be just behind your breasts. I would recommend placing them behind the muscle for better coverage, seeing minimal or no ripples, and avoiding the edge look of implants placed in front of the muscle. Otherwise, it may be difficult to fill that area with adequate fat due to the thinness of your tissue. I do suggest going back to your surgeon and discussing your options.

Answer: Subglandular Implants Hello,It appears as though your implants are over the muscle, giving you this intense rippling. Further, there is precious little space between your implant and your skin, limiting the amount of fat that can be grafted. The likelihood for secondary grafting is high. Switching your implants into a subglandular position and choosing a highly cohesive silicone gel implant will do much more for you. Keep in mind that fat grafting is 90% liposuction, and so it is very much 'going under the knife' as any breast surgery, with more postoperative pain.
