Good Idea Not to Replace Breast Implants After Capsular Contracture?

MiaHope
I have a stage 4 capsular contracture in my right breast. I had my surgery 6 years ago. I am considering not getting the breast implants replaced and have an augmentation done. Do you think not replacing the implants are a good idea? I am told by 3 different doctors that I have enough breast tissue to create a full breast.
