I currently have Natrelle Inspira (SRM) implants along with some fat grafting. I am thin and consequently have very little breast tissue. As a result, I have a lot of visible rippling. I would like to switch out my implants to ones that are less likely to show rippling. There are SO many styles - it's a little overwhelming. In a case like mine, what style of implant should give the best result? Thanks :)
Answer: Rippling Hello,The recipe for minimizing rippling includes the sub pectoral placement of small, low profile implants, which are highly cohesive. Best of luck!

Answer: What are the best implants for someone who is thin and consequently has very little breast tissue? Thank you for your question.Palpability and rippling of breast implants may be related to several factors. These include the amount of soft tissue and breast tissue coverage over the breast implants, the position of the breast implants (submuscular versus sub glandular), the type of implants (saline versus silicone), and the degree of overfilling of saline filled implants. Generally, weight loss will extension weight any rippling/palpability of the implants. Deflation of the implants will also increase the rippling/palpability of the implants. Correction of the rippling may involve further surgery including implant pocket exchange if possible ( sub glandular to submuscular), implant exchange if possible (saline to silicone), and/or the use of allograft to provide an additional layer of tissue between the implant and the patient's skin. Patient weight gain (if possible) may also be helpful.I hope this helps.

Answer: High cohesive gel and lower prfile implant for minimal rippling Inspira implant were an improvement over previous Natrelle implants because of the higher fill ratio, but they can still show some rippling in thin patients. The newer versions (soft touch and cohesive) have firmer gels so they will ripple less, but be careful about going to a higher profile.

Answer: What are the best implants for someone who is thin and consequently has very little breast tissue? Thank you for your great question. As the coverage of the implant gets thinner, the more the implant is visible. For very thin patients who are trying to avoid rippling, placing the implant under the muscle is the most important thing to do. After that, implant selection can help. The more cohesive the gel, the less rippling you will have but the more firm the implant will be. If you have SRM implants now, ask your plastic surgeon to show you the SCM implant from Allergan. This implant will have the same volume and measurements as your current implant but the gel will be more cohesive. If you do not like the current shape you have, you could consider switching to a cohesive shaped implant as well. Discuss all these options with your plastic surgeon.Hope this helps!

Answer: Wrinkles in implants Thank you for your question. It does sound daunting in this day and age of so many choices. Generally speaking, as the level of cohesiveity in the gel goes up, and the relative fill volume to the potential fill space goes up, there is less potential for wrinkling. The Natrelle Inspira Cohesive implant fits the bill in all of those categories for me. The downside is that it does feel a little stiffer than the more fluid gel in the regular Inspira line. Hope that's helpful.
