Frequently Asked Questions How does rippling occur? Rippling, one of the leading causes of breast augmentation dissatisfaction, is when waves or indents appearing on the surface of the implant may be felt or even seen through the skin. Surgery is usually needed to remove and replace the implant, though in some cases the rippling may only be temporary. Rippling may occur for a number of reasons. The subglandular placement of the implant (especially in women with little or no tissue coverage and thin skin), textured implants, and underfilling of the implant may involve an increased risk of rippling.
