Breast Implant Wrinkling

breast-implant-wrinkling-1Breast implant wrinkling is an unaesthetic side effect of certain implant styles, fill levels and anatomical placements. Implant rippling, which can be visualized through the skin, creates a strange unnatural appearance, which is disturbing to many affected women. Luckily, wrinkling can be prevented with some careful surgical planning and wise decision making. Wrinkling is also commonly called implant distortion or implant creasing.

This report explains why rippling can occur in breast prosthetics and how it can be treated.

Breast Implant Explained

Implant rippling or wrinkling is when a patterned set of lines is visible through the breast skin. These creases, folds or wrinkles in the implant will cause a noticeable impression on the skin, which is usually more visible in certain positions.

Implant rippling is typically most apparent when the women is leaning forward or lying on her back. The wrinkles may be a minor cosmetic issue or might completely change the entire look of the breast mound.

Severe implant wrinkling can be a major disappointment for affected women and is also a prime reason to undergo revision surgery.

Causes of Breast Implant Rippling

Saline breast implants ripple far more often than silicone breast implant styles.

Subglandular placement usually makes wrinkling far more noticeable than submuscular or subpectoral placement.

The fill level of the implant can also cause or prevent rippling in the prosthesis shell. Overfilling might cause wrinkling is rare circumstances, but underfilling is a primary cause of the condition.

Implant style is a contributor to experiencing any noticeable rippling. High profile designs are known to wrinkle less often and cohesive silicone gel implants will not wrinkle at all.

Breast Implant Wrinkling Treatment

This is an aesthetic concern which is often completely unknown to most women prior to surgery. However, many men are familiar with this problem, since it common to see on the breasts of many augmented exotic entertainers and adult video stars.

Implant wrinkling is rarely discussed until it is experienced; at which time it is too late. Make sure to ask your cosmetic surgeon about the risk of experiencing implant wrinkling from your chosen procedure.

In addition, ask what measures might be used to prevent this unwanted event from occurring. If you have visible wrinkling already from your breast augmentation procedure, you might consider a revision surgery to correct the issues causing the visual deformity.

Implant revision can be done by switching implant styles, materials or placement and is often very successful at resolving wrinkling issues.

For more information about preventing rippling or resolving wrinkling concerns, consult a qualified plastic surgeon near you.
