How to Fix Breast Rippling 2 Years After Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation has extremely high satisfaction
rates but occasionally rippling can occur following this procedure. This can
occur with either saline or silicone breast implants. Several factors have been
associated with rippling following breast augmentation. These include saline
implants, large implants, thin soft tissue, and placement of implants on top of
the muscle.

The potential for rippling can be decreased in several
ways. It’s important in high risk patients to avoid using implants that are
large relative to the patient’s native breast tissue. Firmer implants such as
silicone and adhesive gel implants can also decrease the potential for this
problem. Submuscular placement decreases rippling by increasing the soft tissue
coverage over the implants. Surgeons should avoid over dissection of the pocket
and avoid implants that are winder than the patient’s breast tissue. Finally
over filling the implant when using saline may help to minimize rippling.

Despite these maneuvers, rippling occasionally may still
occur. It’s important to realize that in the vast majority of patients rippling
isn’t a problem and even when it does occur most patients are still very happy.

If you’re concerned about rippling
following breast augmentation consultation with your plastic surgeon is appropriate.
Depending upon the specifics of your previous procedure your surgeon should be
able to formulate a treatment plan that’s appropriate for you.

Rippling is very difficult to fix, even with surgery.  It is not possible to fix rippling without surgery.
