Is the best way to correct lateral displacement to perform a capsulorraphy or to use a bigger implant to fill in the centre gap?

Asked By:catalina_jan in Edmonton, AB

I have 330cc saline implants filled to 350cc, bwd 12cm, 34A bra to start. Implants moved out laterally within a few months of surgery. Now large gap between my breasts, side boob, and implants move into my armpits with muscle use and lying down. My surgeon can fix this with a capsulorapphy but said that they may just move out again. Other option discussed was using a larger wider implant - worried it would move out further laterally, but my surgeon said no. What's the best long term option here?
