Breast sagging needs a lift
Without a photo it is impossible to say entirely but if your breasts are sagging but you like the size the impants gave you, you would do better with a lift. Going above the muscle will not lift your breasts and will potentially settle into a ball in sock look.

Breast lift
This is hard to tell based on your description alone. Photographs would help. Having said this, I tend to err on the side of re- lifting the breast as oppose to only changing the pocket. This gives you the best chance for longer lasting results.

Dear Howard111 in Manchester
Breast Lift techniques vary- they depend on the starting shape of your breast, implant size and quality of your skin. Choosing the right technique depends on your goals and the amount of scarring you will accept. The implant can be placed in either plane (above or below the muscle). Your recovery should be very fast- 1 to 2 days.

The implant mound may be lower and the implant now sitting behind the nipple but the nipple and now the mound will still be too low. Over time, this positioning may also result in the "rock in a sock" look....

Sagging after lift and breast implant under the muscle is common
When i originally did breast lifting and implants I would put the implants under the muscle. It is safer and easier. Unfortunately in time I found that often over the subsequent years the implant under the muscle stayed nicely high on the chest wall and the heavier breast tissue would tend to droop off the implant creating a what I call a reverse double bubble. There is the mound of the implant and the bellow is the mound of the patients native breast. In order to fix this I found that...

Breast lift?
In general, for patients presenting with “sagging” of the breasts, it is best to undergo breast lifting as opposed to exchanging the implant position to the sub glandular position. There are a lot of downsides to placing implants in the sub glandular position, including potential rippling, palpability, increased risk of encapsulation, and a generally inferior cosmetic result for patients with minimal breast tissue coverage.
Make sure you see a few will...
