I think you have a tough problem to fix as putting that incision back to the bottom of your breast will really lift your implants which need to be lower as well the scar will never go away. I know you are unhappy but if you like the size and they are soft I would likely suggest leaving them

I think that the reasoning you have provided on why you want submuscular should be discussed with your surgeon.  I think that the submuscular approach should be used in almost every instance.Try to research this to find the surgeon who consistently produces the results you would expect. ...
