Your concerns are not uncommon. The decrease in size is probably not the implants but rather the breast tissue.

If the implanst are filled to a volume greater than the maufacturers recommendations it may void the warranty. As long as you are aware of that it is not unreasonable to add more fluid, something that can be done under local anesthesia in the office in most cases.
