Will slight rippling at 1 week post op most likely correct itself? (Photo)

I appreciate your question.



Right now, you are very early on in the
post op recovery period. It will take 3-6 months for you to feel comfortable
having implants in your body and for them to settle. This time allows for you
to physically and psychologically adapt to your new body image. There are many
variables that contribute to a breast augmentation's final result. Preop size
and shape, IMF location, location of the implants and type of implant. Patients
heal at different rates and each breast will sometimes heal at a different
rate. Rest, relax, recover and heal. Please Express your concerns to your surgeon so
he/she can examine you. Then reassess final result at 6 months.



The best way to assess and give true
advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic
surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.



Best of luck!

I can't give you any specific odds, but your implants will change daily over the next 3-6 months as your breasts heal and drop/settle into their final position. So, there is a very good chance that this will resolve on it's own. Don't worry or stress over it. Just be patient and kind to yourself as your body recovers -- Dr. Nazarian

Rippling with implants can occur but usually if the implant is under the muscle it is less common. You are still very early out from surgery so things will change over the next few months as the implants settle. This may help the rippling become less noticeable.  Don't stress out too much now as things will change as your healing progresses. Make sure you keep your follow up appointments with your surgeon
