I had bad rippling, had a lift and implant exchange, went just 15cc's smaller so same size pretty much. Now still have minor rippling, doc says going to a larger implant may fix this issue - they are silicone, forget the brand but he said the best ones to prevent rippling already, new brand. They are over the muscle... would going under help? he says no cause the rippling is at the bottom of the breast more than the top. Thanks!
Answer: Rippling To help improve rippling we have many options, changing the implant to below the muscle, switching to a form stable textured device, fat grafting on top of the implant, as well as covering with a skin substitute

Answer: Breast Implant Rippling
A larger implant will cause more risk for rippling. Procedures which can help rippling are moving the implant below the muscle, grafting a material inside the breast (dermal matrix), changing the implant to a "form stable" implant, and sometimes fat grafting.It would help to discuss and evaluate your options in person.

Answer: Management of breast implant rippling: better coverage, better implant
Going with a bigger implant is not the answer. Most implant have rippling and it's just a matter of how much coverage you have to cover up the implant imperfections. Going under the muscle makes things better (muscle is an extra layer on top of the implant thus making ripples less visible). Using a smooth implant is better (because a textured implant sticks to the overlying tissues and is more likely to show rippling. A fuller fill (whether saline or silicone) means less rippling. For saline implants surgeons often overfill them to minimize rippling. Now both Mentor and Allergan have silicone implants that are filled fuller than previous silicone implants thus minimizing rippling. And finally, tear drop implants (anatomic/form stable implants) have the most cohesive type of silicone which maintains it's shape the best and thus ripples the least. However, in my experience, tear drop implants are often 'too natural' for most breast augmentation patients as they lack upper pole fullness. I no longer recommend these implants for cosmetic purposes.
Without examining you, as a general statement I'll say Mentor Cohesive II and Allergan Inspira True Form 2 silicone implants, placed under the muscle, are you best bet to fight rippling.

Answer: Rippling implants
Smooth silicone implants are the best choice when dealing with rippling but also putting implants under the muscle is important. Particularly with a patient who has needed a lift with a history of rippling, this is the placement I would recommend.

Answer: How Do I Fix Post Surgical Rippling - Already Have Silicone Implants Above Muscle
Silicone implants tend to ripple less than saline implants. Textured implants tend to ripple more than smooth implants. Implants above the muscle tend to ripple more than implants under the muscle. Therefore, I would definitely go below the muscle with smooth silicone implants, and if the rippling is at the bottom of your breasts, then placement of an acellular dermal matrix (ADM) should eliminate the rippling.
A larger implant unfortunately can lead to traction rippling, and therefore I think placement of a larger implant would not be a good idea.
