Rippling can be caused by the under-filling of the implant, or because of pull on the tissue capsule that is attached to thin overlying soft tissue (i.e., skin and subcutaneous fat tissue, and breast tissue). Unfortunately, rippling worsens with time as the implant puts pressure on the breast tissue and thins the overlying tissue.
Thank you for your question.Unfortunately, rippling of your breast implants can occur following a breast augmentation procedure and is often related to a number of factors. These factors can include: the placement of your breast implants in relation to the chest muscle (above or below the chest muscle), the amount of breast tissue coverage, implant type (saline vs. silicone and profile type ...
Thank you for your question. Rippling can be seen when the surface of an implant shadows through the tissue, often found where the breast tissue coverage is thin as can happen after breast reconstruction using implants after a mastectomy is performed. One approach would be to add some thickness to the breast tissue. This can be done by fat grafting where fat is carefully layered between the ...

Both saline and silicone gel implants can ripple It is less common for silicone gel implants to ripple The factors thet increase rippling with gel implants include: Surface texturing High profile low profile Thin overlying tissues So the teratment will depend on the above The implants may need to be changed .If the tissues are thin they can be thickened with fat injections beneath the skin or ...
