Rippling blues:(
I feel like I'm starting to notice in between my boobs are rippling:( I switch from saline to silicone because I thought it would be less than what I had with the saline. Its seems like it's just as bad if not worse now:( and I'm starting to feel like either my left boob hasn't dropped all the way or it's just a different shape:(

I am so sorry! I am so afraid of the rippling problems, I would be very upset too. In your latest pics you look awesome though and there is no visible rippling... I hope, you will be better soon! Good luck!
Also, you might want to read what NewDr.VathFan2015 thinks about rippling. She wrote a very nice comment under my post from May, 18th.

Sorry to hear that.. But I think you look amazing! Btw I'm thinking to go Saline & was curious since you have/had both. Is Saline a good idea for me? I'm currently 34B or 32C. Wish you fast recovery!!

I saw your comment on another woman's profile, but thought it best to comment here. I'll try to help best I can. I'm really sorry about your rippling. Yes, silicone ripples too. All implants ripple, but who get them will greatly depend on the amount of implant coverage, and I see you have very thin skin. You made the transition from saline to silicone to minimize or eliminate rippling. Good move. Second good move was placing the implant under the muscle. This also helps reduce rippling, but it sounds like you have just as much, if not more now than you had with saline. I hate to say this, because you look awesome, but you mentioned having thin skin and like very little breast tissue. Thin skin/tissue covering a very large implant is a recipe for rippling. Large implants will ripple more than small implants. You have options, though, and going bigger isn't going to help. Your options will require more surgery. One option is exchanging your implants for a much smaller implant. Small implants are less likely to ripple. Another: Fat grafting (heard so many great things about this but it is surgeon/technique dependent). Another option: the use of ADM (very, very expensive, general cost 2k for one thin piece). If you don't want to go smaller, I understand, but it may help. There really isn't a guarantee. I know one girl who tried everything I mentioned, even the use of ADM didn't work for her, so she went back to saline and had them over-filled and it worked! No more rippling. Doesn't mean it will work for everyone, sad to say. Talk to your PS and see what he suggests.

Thank you so much for you message. Yes I go to my doctor Friday and will discuss my options

Isn't Lynn cc factual? I can confirm every single word. I'm so grateful I finally met a great ps who explained so much to me. Had it not happened, I'd be as insane as I was prior to May 7th. You look amazing. Skip this bit of rippling you have if you can and enjoy life. And dont get upset with my words, I mean well. No point in wasting life . Too many of us do. I did.

You're so welcome and I wish you the best of luck with your doctor this week. Please update us, because I do know how you feel. I had a lot of rippling with my salines, but refused an over-fill because I didn't want to be larger than I was (I'm a small girl). To a good degree, I agree with what Marmolada said about forgetting the rippling and enjoying life. If the rippling is minor, then I'd let it go, because all implants do ripple. I know you said you had a lot of ripples, but to another person, he/she may say they're minor or barely visible, but if you do have major rippling/traction rippling, then I would explore my options. Good luck. Hope everything goes well at your doctor's appointment! xoxo

If only I'd known in 2006 all implants ripple. Anyway, I'm thankful to have discovered this site. It is no longer feeding my insanity, on the contrary, it's helped me to come to terms with a lot of issues. LynnCC, thank you so much. Please forgive me, both of you btw, I've interrupted your conversation.

May 25, 2015
Hi Marmolada, there is nothing to forgive. We're all here to help each other. I just want to clarify something. While all implants ripple, not all women will have visible rippling. Who gets rippling and who doesn't will largely depend of the amount of tissue coverage you have. If you have plenty, then you likely won't see or even feel any rippling. Some women can feel the ripples, but cannot see them, others can see them, but not feel, and others cannot see or feel them. :-) Hope this helps. Oh, and placing the implant properly in its pocket is important too, as is choosing the right implant for your body frame/chest wall...xoxo

Totally agree with you guys, as I did have rippling improve with my revision switching from saline to silicone and now with the recent revision on my CC breast I'm back to bad rippling I have faith it will get better but I won't let it bother me if it doesnt. Once u go through 4 surgeries u don't want another one. I'm hoping not. We all got to do what makes us happy. I love this site and meeting all you wondeful ladies!

May 27, 2015
Mrsb83, so sorry you are back to square one with rippling. Hopefully once your CC breast is healed and all settle, the rippling will disappear or least be minimized. If not, it is good to know you won't let it bother you. You are healing beautifully and I'm sure so proud and happy that you look so beautiful. No one sees the ripples any way. Good luck. Keep us updated and hoping the rippling goes away when healed. Hugs and kisses!!!

I responded to your question on my profile but figure I should answer it here too. my rippling went away on my one breast at 8 weeks. I too have very thin skin. I had a dent in my cleavage and on the side when I bent over. Now it's barely there at all. Now on my other boob that I'm 12 days post op on my revision of my capsule contraction I m back to square one with horrible rippling. So I'm hoping it clears up like my other one did at 8 weeks.

Ya- mine looks better but if I lean in certain directions I can see where the bag indents and ripples:( but I guess it's the price us flat cheasted girls pay

Went bra shopping;) I'm sure it's too soon to be 100% about the size but I figured I can always return them.

Did u go to the same doctor as last time?
How many CC's did the PS allow u to get when u were an A cup?
I have been told I should only go 400 max hp and I wish I could atleast go up to 500 CC' because I am 5'8 anf have broad shoulders.
No this is a different dr. My first dr was 4 hours away. So I did research on drś here and love him
