Options for rippling with implants after preventative mastectomy? BMI 22, are there any other options out there?

Asked By:booboo32 in United Kingdom, GB

I have had a preventative bilateral mastectomy in 2017 and whilst I'm pleased with the size of my breasts I have very obvious rippling on both breast that I'm very unhappy with. It is due to my body weight which is naturally low due to my high metabolism.I understand I can have some fat transfer but my surgeon has told me I'm too slim ( my bmi is about 22) and to gain about 5kg and go back in 3 months. I'm not sure how I can naturally gain this weight. Is there any other options out there?
