Is it possible to transfer fat to a breast with implant rippling while awake?

Hi! I have had implants for around 15 years. I love them with only one minor flaw - on only ONE side, I have small breast implant rippling on the middle inner corner. It can't really be seen only felt. I don't want to get a full revision breast augmentation since I'm very happy; however, wondering if there are any surgeons who will transfer fat to the breast with an implant in it and do this while awake? Thanks.
