Recurrent capsules and implants
First, closed capsulotomies are not recommended. Second, it sound like you need a caspulectomy( removal) and probable implant removal and you may need to start over in a few months.

REcurrent capsular contracture with implanted breast reduction
If you desire the upper breast fullness, I would recommend one more attempt at implant removal, replacement and a neopectoral pocket.

Revision likely
If you want to keep some fullness, then the implants should be removed and replaced as well as removal of the breast capsule. If the current implants were placed above the muscle I would placed them beneath the muscle during surgery. I would not recommend a closed capsulotomy (squeezing to break the capsule) because this can cause more bleeding and damage the implant.
Good Luck
