Could sutures from internal stitches come undone?

myrector
I have Silicone breast implants size 600. I have had them for almost 2 years now. I am thin build and like to stay active. I want to remove them altogether,but am afraid of what the outcome will be. I have enclosed pictures ,so you can get a better idea of what I am talking about. My PS suggested smaller implants with internal stitching to make the pocket smaller? I just worry that the stitches could come undone and I would have to have another surgery. Please, if you have any ideas let me know.
