I had a breast augmentation about a year ago and since then my implants have bottomed out (I think due to lax skin from previous weight loss). I am getting a revision capsulorrhaphy next week want to find out how the recovery process will be in terms of pain and how long after I can resume normal activity as well as sex. Also, will the skin at the crease of my breasts follow the new contour made internally? What things should I be aware of?

Yes, I do recommend going smaller like 400-450 cc's and liposuction can be added at the same time. Please discuss this with your surgeon. Your shoulders and neck will thank you for going smaller.
I would highly recommend downsizing implants and performing mastopexies (breast lifts). The problem is that the implants are too large and there is too much breast tissue/skin. The only way to fix this issue is with a breast lift. Regardless, these are all my own opinions based on the photos...
