Can capsulectomy and pocket expansion be done at the same time?

thatgirl225
6 months ago I had a revision BA to replace small saline implants with silicone implants. My doctor performed a capsulotomy on both sides to accommodate the larger implants. Immediately after surgery, I noticed that the right breast had a smaller pocket than the left and confirmed this with the doctor. Since then I’ve developed CC On right side. I’m getting a capsulectomy surgery on right side and was wondering if a capsulotomy can be done at the same time to increase the pocket to match left?
