Malpositioned Implant - Mastopexy or Mastopexy w/ Capsulorraphy
From your description, you likely need the capsulorraphy; without photo's, I dont know if you need a lift or not. If you did not feel that your breasts were drooping before your revision, and you did not downsize your implants, you likely only need the capsulorraphy. If you post photos, it would help. Good luck!
