Fat Injections for implant ripples?

BarbieKen · 11-19-2009, 06:19 PM

Hi,
I recently had a breast augmentation: 650cc silicone overs. My left breast is gorgeous; round smooth...beautiful. Unfortunately, my right breast has one large ripple/wrinkle on top right at my cleavage area. My PS said he could do fat injections to the ripple. When I had my breast augmentation I also had a small amount (very minimal) of fat injections to my lips. So, I am aware of the process and recovery (they are swollen and then reduce in size). Is this something you do (fat injections for ripples)? How is it done? ie; over fill the ripple area with the fat? Does it take more than one fat injection? Does it cause the skin to lift? (like a thin pencil is under the skin in the ripple area)? The ripple is not noticeable when standing still and very straight with shoulders back...otherwise it is VERY noticeable (basically all the time).
Thank you for your time,
BarbieKen

Fat injection to cosmetic breasts is being done by some. It may help, it may leave lumps.
