I had saline implants removed and replaced with silicone, under the muscle. Cleavage ripples and rippling along top were immediately noticeable. Three weeks ago, my PS revised implant pocket, hoping to alleviate rippling. It helped with cleavage but not along top. How long should I wait to try fat grafting or is this a viable solution?

Answer: Fat Grafts After Breast Implants Fat grafts are a potential solution to problems related to thin soft tissues over breast implants. Since you are very early in the recovery phase, your surgeon will want to wait a few months before making a decision about whether fat grafts or other revisions would be helpful.

Answer: Fat grafting after augmentation I'm sorry the exchange of saline to silicone and the placement to under the muscle didn't resolve your rippling. I would not rush into fat transfer until you have had a chance to heal up a bit first because the exact placement and amount may be different in a few months compared to just a few weeks after surgery. Because fat injections may need to be repeated to get enough fullness I suppose doing the first around 3 months is reasonable, with a second 3-6 months later. If your surgeon prefers to wait longer that is I would support their recommendations. Typically this can be done under local with minimal downtime.
