Fixing capsular contracture - Odds of recurrence?

Jennifer in CA
I got my first implants about 8 years ago (425's) and then replaced them with 625's filled to 700 a year later to achieve more upper fulless. I have CC in the right breast and could live with it but now it is getting real snoppy like and in my bras and bathing suits it appears high in the cleavage area. I would like to get it fixed and while doing so get a snoopy lift (making nipple smaller) and going down to 550. Do you think that is possible and would work? Do you think I'd get it again?
