Can you go from sub glandular for 8 yrs to sub muscular then back to sub glandular 11 months later?

Asked By:Sandsy in Saskatchewan

I had my first breast augmentation (subglandular) in 2015 and developed capsular contracture. In January 2024, I had a revision with 565cc implants under the muscle, which revealed both implants had ruptured, and capsular contracture was present. I faced complications like infections, scarring, and lateral displacement issues. Now my surgeon suggests returning to subglandular with 650cc implants. Has anyone gone from subglandular to submuscular and back? Is this really a good idea to pursue?
