The prevention of rippling is optimally discussed per-operatively:
1) What type of implant you need. Silicone gel filled breast implant is better than normal saline filled breast implant
2) The breast implants should be placed below the muscle. The optimal way to prevent rippling and minimize rippling, is to place the implant below the
muscle. The muscle acts like additional padding and more likely cover up any breast implant wrinkling. However there is no muscle coverage in the lower
outer quadrant of the breast. Fortunately bathing suits and bras cover this area.

3) Make sure there is adequate breast tissue. The more breast tissue you begin with the greater the the amount of padding to cover a breast implant.
4) If you choose a normal saline breast implant make sure not over or underinflate an implant. muscle. If you are using saline implants make sure you
maximally fill it and not overfill or underfill, as that can cause more scalping or rippling. If you underfill, it has a increased rate of deflation in saline breast
implants.

5) If you are using silicone implants do not oversize. Sometimes the use of silicone implants may be better, especially in patients with no breast tissue as well as placement below the pectoralis major muscle. If you are using saline implants make sure you maximally fill it and not overfill or underfill, as that can cause more scalping or rippling. If muscle.
