It’s been 4 months since I removed silicone implants under the muscle. Can I get implants again?

Alaskanbaby
I am 35 yrs old, 3 kids. I had a capsulectomy and breast implant removal 4 months ago. I had the implants for 4 years . I removed them because they were too big and a mild capsular contracture. Now I am considering getting a smaller pair of new implants. I am 5’1 and 118lbs. I had 375cc and they were just too big for my frame. How long should I wait since my explant until I can get new implants and is it safe? Can I still have desirable results after the capsulectomy I had?
