Is it possible to make "breast pockets" bigger than original to fit a certain size implant? (photo)

AmericanNL
I'm 5'11'' and 165lbs, with a wide ribcage but small breast pockets. Dr. told me he could only fit HP375cc implants which turned out to look small on me and not proportionate. His excuse was that my breast pockets were too small. So during surgery, is it possible to revise the breast pockets to fit a bigger size implant especially when there's so much space on the ribcage? I had loose skin from breast feeding, so we're talking about the width of the implant.
