Options for Fixing "Buckling" Implants Above the Muscle?

azatlkw
I'm 5'3", 135 pounds, with fit, athletic build. I have 600cc textured high profile implants above the muscle. The problem is the pocket wasn't opened enough to fit this implant, so it has always buckled. Some doctors have said to move submuscular and then I will need a lift. Is this true? Some have said to keep them on top and open the pocket more. What is the best option? They are high profile and look like 2 shelves. Some have still said to keep high profile and by opening the pockets this will make them look better and others have said to go to a low profile. I'm so confused.
