How soon did your rippling occur?

I had pre pectoral direct to implant placement 2 wks after nipple and skin sparing BMX.

I have had rippling of the left side pretty much from the time I removed the initial surgical bra. It is very noticible when I lean forward or move certain ways. No rippling on the right side. I did have rads on the left side 10 yrs ago so I feel like it is due to that. Both sides are still mildly swollen and tight. Prob 2/3 of the left nipple has necrosis.

My implants are Natrelle Inspira smooth rounds 385cc.

Anyone else with rippling from the get go ?

    Hi there! I have had some slight rippling from the get go, but I was warned ahead of time about it, and we're doing some mild fat grafting after my chemo is done. Overall I'm quite pleased so far, but I just got my girls in December, LOL, so they're pretty new. 😄 Wishing you all the best with everything!!! I'll update after the fat grafting too, if I remember (soon forgetful lately) Have a great night!!🌹🌹💕

    Thanks and please let me know how the FG goes.

    My PS talked about doing that about 3 months down the road.

    Best wishes through the chemo.

    Saw the PS today and she went on and removed my poor dead left nipple. My skin on that side has some pink/purple discoloration in areas so she worries about some already poor circulation related to the previous rads . She also thinks that the tight skin on this side is causing the rippling. Thinks also that she may not be able to place a larger implant later on. She will attempt some fat grafting in a few months which may help add some fullness. Kinda disappointed. Preteen boobies and one nipple- but I know it could be far worse.
