Can I replace silicone implants with fat after tuberous breast augmentation?

Resourceful5100
I am planning on getting round sientra Silicone implants (not textured) along with a tuberous breast procedure and areola reduction. I have done a lot of research before scheduling this and I know plenty about the risks of ALCL and BII (do not tell me it's not real misogynist) My question is, after the implants have been in for some time and the correction of the tuberous has been achieved is it possible to explant and do a fat transfer/graft in place of the implant in case I do experience BII?
