Rippling, or surface irregularities over the implant, is a potential problem with any type of breast implant. It occurs somewhat more frequently with saline filled implants because the fluid in the implant is less viscous than the older silicone gel. 4, record 1, English, - rippling

Dans certains cas les implants mammaires sont responsables de plis ou d'un aspect de vagues en particulier dans la partie supérieure du sein. Ce phénomène semble être plus fréquent sur les prothèses texturées, lorsque la prothèse est gonflable au sérum physiologique. Pour certains auteurs, le sous-gonflage ou le dégonflement partiel de l'implant favorisent ce phénomène et la présence de plis sur la prothèse serait un facteur de rupture ou de dégonflement par usure prématurée de l'enveloppe sur un pli. 3, record 1, French, - plicature
