Making Waves: Management of Implant Rippling with Surgical Strategy and Fat Grafting Friday, October 10 Fri, Oct 10 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. CDT
This panel will review the current strategies for management of thin mastectomy skin flaps and subsequent rippling.
Upon completion of this learning activity, participants should be able to :
- Understand that pre-pectoral reconstruction is higher risk than sub-pectoral reconstruction for rippling
- Identify the causes and risk factors for implant rippling, including implant type, size, and patient anatomy.
- Evaluate surgical techniques and strategies for minimizing or correcting rippling, such as adjusting implant placement (pre vs sub pectoral) or using different types of implants (cohesivity).
- Assess the role of adjunctive procedures (e.g., fat grafting or ADM) in improving aesthetic outcomes and reducing rippling in breast implant patients.
- Understand the impact of rippling on patient satisfaction and the potential need for revision surgery or other interventions to address this complication.
