Traction Rippling (Ripples with textured implants)

As the implant drops, or settles into place, the textured surface of the shell pulls on the scar capsule, which in turn, pulls on the skin. This produces traction rippling. It can occur with implants over the muscle, or under the muscle. The only way to prevent or correct traction rippling is to use an implant with a smooth shell.
