Implants Placed Submuscular Yet Can See Rippling on the Outer and Bottom Sides, Even in Cleavage, Options?

September 30, 2011
Asked By:Tarang

I have 275cc cohesive gel silicone Mentor implants placed submuscular 2.5 months ago. I have very noticeable rippling on the outer and bottom sides, and also in the upper cleavage area where the implants are supposed to be covered by the muscle. I can even see faint rippling in the upper cleavage area even when I stand upright. Is there anything I can do to increase the thickness of chest muscles to better cover the implants? Or do I have to accept this? I am 5ft3 and 95 pounds.
