What is the best course of action for intramuscular gluteal implants that have displaced (broken through)?

Jetset88
I had oval 550cc cohesive gel implants placed in June of 2019. In October of 2019, I took a long road trip and sat in a reclined position. After about 6 hours my glutes were in pain and I had a fever for days. An MRI recently indicated that the implants are in perfect condition but have migrated to above the muscle. They broke through the pocket. Should I have them removed? Or put back (intramuscular) in and somehow reinforce the pocket? What does the literature indicate as the best way to fix?
