I had my swap out surgery two months ago, in March, and I have ripples in one of my implants. Especially if I lean over. The implants are underneath my pectoral muscle. Pretty upsetting after everything :( What can be done?!

Also, another helpful tip is that sometimes they can inject fat to reduce the rippling. For me they had to give me a lift!

My PS told me that you will get less rippling with silicone than you would with saline.

I have silicone and both are rippling.

I had rippling so had my implants pulled and a lift with new implants to prevent it from happening again. REALLY glad I did!!! And, yes insurance covered it!

Some ripples are normal. I have some when I bend over. It is just the way they sit to be honest. I know it is not ideal but it is a pretty common thing I believe.
