My surgeon that is revising my breast aug+ mastopexy to correct capsular contracture, lateral displacement and overall appearance is suggesting I exchange my 375cc silicone implant for 600cc to give me a more lifted and augmented look that I desire. While I don't mind an increase in size, I am worried that this will look ridiculous and give me a poor result. She said based on my anatomy, the larger implants is the way to go. I do plan on voicing this, but would appreciate advice. Thank you.

Measurements are needed to know what would be the best range of sizes for your frame and tissue, but 525 cc's is just too large and heavy for most women. Although there are no photos posted, you might consider 350-400 cc's for a better size for life.
That tear through the muscle might be somewhat difficult to repair. I would avoid trying to push the breast up and in and wearing a strap at night. A fat graft will not be helpful. Going larger may make it show more. Going smaller and wearing a strap may help.
Although you can rupture your implant at any time, without any trauma, it is unlikely that this is ruptured. I would suggest getting an ultrasound to check the implant. You also may have something going on with your neck or shoulder and need to see your medical physician.
