What is palpable or visible breast implant rippling after breast augmentation surgery, what are the consequences, and what is the treatment?
Breast implants have fold flaws. Because of the consistency of silicone gel, and predetermined, and optimal filling, the flaws may be less pronounced in such breast implants. Saline breast implants may produce scalloping and folding that is made more pronounced by overfilling, or under-filling breast implants. The visibility or palpability of breast implant rippling is accentuated by lack of breast tissue, fat tissue, or muscle tissue between the breast implants, and their overlying skin. The solutions to the problem include replacement with the latest generation cohesive gel implants or augmentation of the soft tissue covering the breast implants with flaps.
