i have mild rippling in cleavage area, 550cc hp "seintra gummy bear implants" im 3 1/2 weeks post op. very sad with the rippling and was wondering should i not worry so much could things get better?? i DO NOT want to go back under for surgery for this to be fixed, can fat injections, or any other tools be used to fix rippling in cleavage area without surgery?? even if it was just a little bit less noticeable i would be fine with that but I'm hoping it will either fade away some?
Answer: Rippling after breast augmentation You are still quite early in your healing phase. It is possible that as the capsule matures, the rippling could be improved or even disappear. You should get back to see your plastic surgeon so he can evaluate this and discuss reasonable expectations.

Answer: Sientra breast iomplants Hello, and thank you for your question. You did not state where the implants are placed but certainly relocating the implants to and under the muscle location if they have been placed above the muscle would be a correction. In addition at that fat grafting and may also be an option. I would recommend you wait approximately 3-4 months following your procedure and continue to followup with your treating plastic surgeon. Best of luck.

Answer: Can rippling go away? I am sorry to hear about your concerns after breast surgery; as you have seen, online consultants cannot help you with specific enough advice to be truly helpful. Generally speaking, 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.

Answer: Options to improve rippling Form-stable implants have the least rippling so it is a question of coverage. If your implants are under the muscle then there should be adequate coverage in the cleavage area, but you didn't mention whether the implants are under or over. Implant dimensions are also important, especially the base width. Fat grafting can be helpful in some cases but it is not possible to say specifically without more information and an in-person evaluation.

Answer: Rippling after Sientra implants It is unusual to see rippling this early, especially under the muscle. If you are above the muscle and are very thin, then it is possible to see rippling even with HP implants. You said you would rather not have surgery to fix this, but fat injections are still surgery. Wait for two months after surgery, reassess with your surgeon and together you can have a plan to help your concerns. Best wishes.
