Suture technique to fix double bubble: how reliable is it? Should I reduce my implant size to make sure it will work? (Photos)

I have 700cc implants that were placed 2 months ago. I developed double bubble, and my doctor just told me today that it happened because my breast tissue was not strong enough to hold such large implants. He wants revise my pockets using a suture technique. But how reliable is this technique and what is the probability the double bubble will form again? Would it help if I reduce my implant size for, let's say, 600cc instead? I love my 700cc size but I am very afraid double bubble can come back!
