Unfortunately your implants are unlikely to settle after so long a period of time.  The pointed projection of the implant should be centered on the nipple and your result will be much better after a revision of the pocket to release and lower the implant.

Would larger implants increase or reduce rippling?
Oct 2, 2018
Larger breast implants can reduce implant rippling if the skin is thin and there is a mismatch between the breast skin envelope and implant volume.  There are other solutions that might be considered however which could include a more highly cohesive implant, fat grafting to the breast, a submuscular implant pocket, or the placement of an ADM implant to support the breast.  Think carefully about your goal and consider second opinions to help you sort out a solution.

Recovery after transaxillary breast augmentation.

The recovery after under the muscle breast augmentation should be the same for all approaches, including transaxillary. Expect soreness in the chest for several days, and a return to work well within a week. Lifting will be a bit uncomfortable for some time after so you will have to adjust.

Your question is a very common one and implant selection can be very stressful for many.We find that the focus on the correct look through the use of trial bras and photos with clear communication of your goals is the best way to achieve the result you are hoping for. The actual implant selection is most often made at the time of surgery with the implant sizers.  Start at home with a bra you hope to wear, pad things out to the correct size and try on clothing.  When you know the right loo…

Aug 23, 2018
The best approach the implant sizing is based off your own breast measurement and what you would like to look like after breast augmentation.  Pictures offer the clearest idea of your goal and sizing at the time of surgery is how many surgeons will determine the best implant for the result in mind.  Implant sizes are only a number and often poorly correlate to breast size and shape.  Focus on what you wish to look like an trust the numbers to your surgeon.

Seroma 4 years after abdominoplasty.
Aug 8, 2018
It seems very unlikely that a seroma has developed 4 years after your abdominoplasty procedure. The mons area sometimes has to be specifically addressed in abdominoplasty and perhaps this area has been under treatment.  An office evaluation should be able to work out a satisfactory solution.
