Would the surgery I need be considered a revision with an implant exchange, or just an implant exchange? (photos)

InNeed101
I had saline implants placed about 12 years ago (under the muscle). 2 years post, one ruptured and I had it exchanged. I have had 3 kids, all which I have breastfed. It feels like my left (patient’s left) breast has moved from under the muscle. If so, would the surgery I need be considered a revision with an implant exchange, or just an implant exchange? I would like to go bigger and possibly switch to silicone.
