Inadequate implant and a sad-looking shape - what are my options?

parvin010
I am 5’2”, fit, early 40s. I had 295cc HP implants placed sub-fascially 4 years ago resulting in a bulging upper pole that spilled over the top of even the lightest support bras. After 4 years of daily distress, I underwent a capsulectomy and replace with a 195cc MP implant, a recommendation of the same surgeon--no discussion of the risks, or benefits. Now my breast tissue hangs off the implant, a size that is too inadequate to fill my breast envelope. What are my options?
