Stubborn rippling problem, would macrolane be a good solution for me? (Photos)

trianglesquareApr 20, 2024
I had a breast lift and fat transfer (140ml/70ml per side as very slim) 3m ago to address rippling post-BF. I have smooth silicone implants over muscle (2 y ago it was attempted to reposition underneath but they slipped out). The rippling, though improved, is still visible, particularly middle of 2 breasts. Also profile of right breast not round, nipple appears stretched, pointing downward, breast protrudes outward underneath the nipple. What can I do bearing in mind my fat reserves have been use. I know macrolane is expensive for short-term results but I'm wondering if it could be a good solution for me (small ish area not whole breast/all other solutions exhausted/affecting me so much that I'll throw money at this problem) also how safe and effective is Macrolane nowadays.
