There is very good scientific evidence in medical literature to show that breast implants look more natural and feel better if placed below the muscle. It also does not obscure mammography and there is good evidence-based data to support that the implants stay softer longer by a significant margin if placed below the muscle.
The ideal option to prevent rippling is to decide preoperatively what type of implant you need and whether it should be placed above or below the muscle. The optimal way to prevent rippling, or at least minimize rippling, is to place the implant below the muscle, make sure there is adequate breast tissue and not oversize or underinflate an implant if you are using saline or silicone implants.
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 you underfill, it can cause more deflation in saline implants. Remember, one can almost always feel any implant in the lower outside quadrant of your breast.
One should never underfill a saline implant because there is a higher chance of having a deflation or rupture because of full flow problems. You should always maximally fill the implant so that it will get less scalping and no rippling in this area, plus it will deflate much less.
