Breast Implant Rippling Revision Surgery in Fairfield County, Connecticut

Replacing Your Implants

Regardless of the cause of rippling, most women who experience this complication will find that it affects their confidence and compromises the results of their breast augmentation procedure. If you are experiencing saline breast implant rippling, Dr. Passaretti can replace them with new silicone implants to help ensure a more uniform appearance and prevent future rippling. Even if only one implant has begun to ripple, we typically recommend replacing both with silicone implants, since both implants must be the same type to achieve optimum results.

We will perform this procedure in our state-licensed operating facility to ensure your comfort and safety. During the corrective procedure, Dr. Passaretti will create an incision to access your implant. Once the old implant has been removed, the new implant will be set in place. If future rippling is a concern, we can use subglandular placement. Dr. Passaretti will evaluate the look, size, and shape of the new implant or implants before making any necessary adjustments and closing the incisions. After surgery, you will follow recommendations similar to recovery from breast augmentation.
