What's the best method to treat capsular contracture?

Oct2009
I had breast aug 10/15/09. Saline, under the muscle. I have capsular contracture in my right breast & have tried massaging & singlair per my surgeon. I am going to have to go back into the operating room to correct. What is the better method--having the tissue cut and corrected or replacing the implants? I am not happy with the size of my implants (too small) and would like to upgrade. However I do not want to increase my chances of this happening again.
