Scar Tissue Removed from my Right Breast Area?

I had scar tissue removed from my right breast area because it made my silicone implant look to high, by doing this it made that breast look to relaxed and my left breast looked perfect. My doctor says to make it look fuller he wants to inject blood into the area that he removed the scar tissue, he says by doing this it will make the breast look fuller. Is this true? I am kinda Leary.

Capsular contracture after breast implant
