I've had 3 surgeries all for Capsular Contracture on my left side. Should I switch from under the muscle to over the muscle?

I have had 3 surgeries all resulting in a capsular contracture only on the left side. I don't know what to do now. All three were different surgeons, I am now being told I should try textured implants over the muscle, since under the muscle is proving not to work for me. Any help greatly appreciated!!! This is devastating for me.
