What can be done to prevent wrinkling or rippling of the implant?
The reason wrinkling and rippling can occur with breast implants is because, if you think about it, a saline implant is basically just a water bottle. A water bottle wrinkles, ripples and sloshes because water is such a thin liquid. The most important thing to do to reduce these risks, very simply, is dont choose too big of an implant. If there is very little breast tissue to cover up the implant and a large implant is chosen, it will look and feel just lake an implant. The more natural breast tissue that is present and the smaller the implant is, the less chance of wrinkling and rippling. The second most important thing to do is put the implant under the muscle, so there is more natural tissue to cover up the implant, particularly on the upper half of the breast.
