Is it normal to feel ripples at the base of the incision 4 months post-op?

Silicone implants placed under the muscle minimizes the risk of rippling.  Implants placed under the muscle seldom ripple or wrinkle along the upper and inner side of the breast, but may do so on the lower and outer sides of the breast, as these sides are not covered by the pectoralis muscle. Follow up with your plastic surgeon for guidance.

Hello,
Thank you for your question!
It is difficult to assess you without a physical examination. If you are concerned it may be best to see your Plastic Surgeon

this can be normal depending on how slim you are and the type of implant that you have.  I would just mention it at your next visit.  nothing urgent

It is possible that you are able to feel the implant through your scar/skin. But a clinical examination can confirm this. I would recommend that you have a follow-up consultation with your board-certified surgeon. Best wishes.

Even with silicone implants, including those placed under the muscle. ripples can sometimes be felt at the bottom of the implant.  This is not necessarily abnormal, but you can be examined by your surgeon to make sure everything is okay.

It is relatively normal to feel some part of the implant after a breast augmentation. I would follow up with your board certified plastic surgeon.

Hi and welcome to our forum!Rippling of a breast implant may occur after breast augmentation. It usually occurs if there is little breast tissue overlying the implant, if a saline filled implant was utilized, if a saline implant was underfilled, if an implant has deflated, or if an implant was placed in a subglandular position. However, It can occur to a lesser degree with a submuscular silicone implant.There is no urgency, but I would bring up the issue with your surgeon at your next scheduled visit.Best wishes...

Rippling following breast augmentation is influenced by a number of factors:  The quality of the skin, placement of the implant ( above or below th muscle), the type of implant( silicone  or saline), and if saline, was the implant underfilled. But rippling is fairly common.
