Is sudden rippling one week post-op a concern? (Photos)

At
one week post op you are very early in the healing process. Rippling is completely normal with implants. Swelling will continue
to subside and the implants will continue to settle while changing your breast shape. I
recommend follow up with your chosen surgeon regarding your post operative
concerns.

I see the rippling on one breast.  The muscle usually hides ripples in this location.  I don't know if the implant thinned the muscle or if the muscle was thin to allow this to show.  You are also a thin person without much body fat to hide rippling.  Unfortunately, I usually see ripples worsen as swelling goes away.  Discuss options with your surgeon.

Thank you for your pictures and questions. Rippling of the implant is determined by the covering of the implant. All implants ripple to some degree but the rippling is disguised better by implant coverage. In someone like you who is very thin with a larger implant, rippling is going to be a concern. It is unlikely that with continued time, implant settling, and a decrease in swelling, that the rippling will improve.....in fact, if there is rippling now, it will probably become more noticeable over time. Make sure you discuss your concerns with your surgeon at the visit. One option for patients like you is to choose a highly cohesive implant (such as the Allergan level 3 cohesive implant) which tends to ripple less than traditional implants but is slightly more firm.Hope this helps!
