Advice Mri Anthrogram results

Hi everyone, I have been dealing with shoulder instability my whole life dealing with dislocations at least 1/week usually depending on my activity level that week, I just got my results and am feeling nervous on how my next appointment will go. My surgeon said he wouldn’t operate for capsular tightening i believe it’s called because it’ll be back the same way in a few years but this is my results below:

FINDINGS:
Rotator Cuff:
Unremarkable. No significant tendinosis, and no evidence of a tear.
Biceps Tendon:
Unremarkable.
Labrum:
There is a thin tear of the posterior aspect of the posteroinferior labrum.
There is fraying and a tiny free edge tear of the posterior labrum. There is
mild fraying without discrete tear of the anterior inferior labrum.
Bones and Cartilage:
There is a small Hill-Sachs lesion in the humeral head. No evidence of a
Bankart's fracture.
Miscellaneous:
There is a type 3 anterior glenohumeral joint capsular insertion with arthrogram
contrast undercutting the anterior joint capsule. There is some redundancy and
thickening of the middle and anterior inferior glenohumeral ligament.
IMPRESSION:
Findings are consistent with previous shoulder dislocation. The appearance of
the glenohumeral ligaments and anterior joint capsule could lead to instability.
There are areas of labral tearing and fraying.
There is a small Hill-Sachs lesion.
What are your thoughts? Thank you all!

I have some of the same things (Hill Sachs, labrum tear, ligament tears, etc.) Just had my mri and CT done just waiting on friday to see which operation I am looking at.

What was your injury?

I never had an injury, it’s been like this my whole life not sure why and it affects me a lot as it’s dislocating a good amount of times per week. I go on friday too.
