I am 35 years old female 5ft5 my weight is 160. I got a breast augmentation back in October 2020. Now that everything has settled I feel rippling at the bottom of my right breast in the cup area. I did not attach any pictures because you can not see the ripples but you can feel them in my right breast. My implants are silicone and placed under the muscle, I am now self-conscious I want to know if I can get a fat transfer in that area to help with the ripples? or is there nothing else I can do
Answer: Fat transfer Yes, adding fat around the implant can help increase soft tissue coverage and alleviate unnatural rippling and feel. Another option would be to place an acellular dermal matrix product in the lower pole to cover the implant

Answer: Can I get a fat transfer to my breast after I already have silicone breast implant augmentation? Fat grafting can be successful after breast implants to improve shape and size discrepancies. Some of the success will depend upon existing tissue available for receiving the fat. In general, 200 cc per breast is typically the upper limit of fat injection recommended by most plastic surgeons. It is not that more cannot be injected; but on average, this has been determined to be the most that can be expected to live during one transfer. Multiple transfers would be required for additional cc's. In general, the abdomen and thighs are preferred donor sites but fat from other areas can be used. Lipo and fat transfer to the breast can be performed during the same surgery. A board certified PS should know where to inject the fat to prevent rupturing the implant.

Answer: Fat If you have enough breast tissue to support the transfer, then fat may help. If you do not, dermal grafts like Alloderm could be placed internally for more fullness.

Answer: Rippling silicon implant It’s possible to do fat transfer of her implants. When this is done the implants need to be removed during the fat transfer part of the procedure so that they are not damaged from the cannula‘s. Typically temporary implants are placed in the pockets during the fat transfer than the original implants I put back in and the surgery is finished.
