Going smaller...
As has been said by my colleagues, I'd also suggest removing the implants, and not replacing them with another implant. It's time to switch to plan B! Fat transfer would be an excellent option.

Multiple Complications with Breast Implants?
I'm sorry to hear about the complications you have experience with breast implants; I wonder if you will be better off without implants altogether. You may want to visit with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons who have extensive experience with fat grafting (I don't). Make sure you educate yourself well about the potential complications associated with this procedure as well.
Best wishes.

Implants can come out, fat can be placed in the subcutaneous
space. This is called SIEF- Simultaneous Implant Exchange With Fat.
We have described this technique and have performed it in
patients who want their implants out. We have had 100 percent success with this technique
with no further revisions.

Implant replacement with fat transfer
Lipotransfer may be a better choice for you than implants considering your complicated history. I would suggest a consultation with a local expert on fat transfer
