I had saline breast implants 2 years ago and they rippled. Has anyone else had this problem and is this normal? Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Are they over or underneath your muscle? I am assuming since its only been two years, they are underneath. That can help prevent rippling.

Also, do you know how much overfill your PS gave you?

They're under. I'm not sure on the overfill. It almost feels like their not filled enough.

Mine are 375s overfilled to 440s. Mine are fairly firm but not fake feeling.

Is the rippling bad when you like bend over? Is it bad enough that you want to redo them? What did your PS say?

Although with all three sets of implants I've had I have never had this problem, the rippling problem that you are describing is one of the more common ones.

I think mine were 375cc. They never said anything about overfill. They look really bad when I bend over. Actually I've never discussed it with my ps because I only had one follow up appointment right after (and didn't realize it yet because I was still swollen) and haven't been back to him since then. I didn't know if redoing them would solve the problem or not. If it's because the ps didn't fill them enough then I would definitly redo them. How long have your implants lasted? I'm always afraid their going to leak.
