Breast Implant Rippling / Wrinkling Photos

Traction Rippling

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.

Traction rippling is sometimes seen with textured breast implants

 

The next two photos (below) show rippling with smooth round saline breast implants.  These ripples are usually only visible when the body is an an awkward position, particularly when bending over forward.  Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent rippling.  However, silicone does ripple much less than saline.
