Fluctuations of the nuclear surface about the Hartree-Fock configuration can have a significant influence on ground state charge densities. We present simple formulas to describe the effects of zero-point motions of the surface due to random phase approximation vibrations. We use a collective treatment, justifying it with a solvable model. We find that the main correction to the densities comes from low-lying collective states, whereas giant resonances are of minor importance.
