Is There Anything That Can Be Done to Reduce Rippling After Breast Reconstruction Surgery?

5911anon
I am 52 and have had a bi-lateral mastectomy followed by silicon breast implants. I notice rippling at the top of my breast when I lean over. I will have nipples added in a couple of months. Is there anything that can be done during this upcoming surgery that can help cover up the ripples?
