Rippling

Rippling has not gotten any better. Very upsetting as I? was advised to go over the muscle. The only way to fix would be a revision which is infuriating for the amount of time it’s taken to heal and money spent. Also developed Stretch marks in the breast that the rippling is on, assuming because the socket was smaller and the implant was bigger in that socket. Another reason why I? feel the wrong sized implant was used. I? went in thinking I? was getting around 380 but no more than 400 and I? got 450

Did the rippling ever get any better? I have 385cc under the muscle and if I slump forward while standing I have some rippling but not if I stand straight up. I’m very petite and think it’s just because I don’t have much breast tissue coverage.

Rippling

I'm about one month post op and suddenly have rippling in my right breast. I remember when I first got it done I could see one tiny dent but I was hoping it was a bruise. Someone tell me some good news that this will go away once it settles... I don't understand why it's only in one

Hello, I suggest speaking to the doc, I have seen this a lot with woman that have on top of muscle, I don't know though it may very well go away, I hope you are doing good.

Daftunicorn is right. Women who do not have much of their own breast tissue are more as risk for rippling when implant is placed above muscle. Did you choose above the muscle for a specific reason?
October 12, 2017
I did not choose over the muscle he chose that for me and I was very very hesitant because I haven't heard many good things about it and not many people do it. I am far apart as it is so he said if I did under the muscle there would be a big space because under the muscle would pull them farther apart

Sorry I went back and read your first page. I’m not sure I find that to be true. It would depend on your BWD as well. If your are far apart you picked the right implant to help bring your cleavage together. I do not have high profile implants as my ps agreed it would be better for me to close the gap as well. I do notice most have high profile, but I also wasn’t looking for projection as I already natural breast tissue. My ps said I had enough if I wanted to go over the muscle but he prefers doing under for longevity

Looks great! I love how close together they are compared to others I've seen, where they're so far apart. I hope when I get mines done, they'll turn out just as nice as urs.
