Does a Caspuslorrhaphy Involve Stiching to the Ribs?

I have bottoming out on one of my implants. I have been on multiple consultations trying to find a surgeon to correct this. I am confused because I keep getting different opinions on what I need to do to fix it. I've been told about everything from creating a "hammock" out of cadaver skin to hold my implant up to some light "tuck stitching" to hold it up. One PS told me the only way it will hold for sure is if my skin is stitched and hooked permentently to my ribs. Is this true?
