What is the recovery like after a capsulorrhaphy

Scheduled an appt with my surgeon 8 months post implant surgery(2nd set, wanted bigger than initial set). my new implants slide under my armpits and are extremely wide when standing as well as low. I am so disappointed. From everything I have read here a capsulorrhaphy seems to be the best route and I may want to go a tiny bit bigger. Recovery from my 2nd surgery was so easy I am a personal trainer and only took a week off work and felt great upon returning. I am concerned that the capsulorrhaphy is a much longer recovery and quite painful. I am also wondering if it would be typical for the surgeon to cover the cost of revision since the problem happened with the pocket being made too large. Cant believe I am looking at a third surgery. Ugh, so sad:(
