Frequently Asked Questions -
Breast Implant Rippling & Fill Level

What is rippling? Do you "overfill" or take other steps to avoid this?

Rippling refers to the occurrence of wrinkles, or "ripples", in the skin over a saline implant. The underlying shell of the implant has rippled as well. Manufacturers usually size implants over a range of approximately 30 cc; fill to the uppermost end of the range is considered "overfilling". This concept has arisen due to changes in manufacturers' labeling of implant sizes in response to FDA dictates. Today, an implant of size 270 cc to 300 cc would be considered overfilled if filled to a volume of 300 cc. Dr. Zevon believes that correct fill volume is key in the prevention of rippling and, accordingly, overfills unless considerations of symmetry or other anatomical issues outweigh issues of fill volume.
