Is It Common for Breast Implants to Poke out of Skin?

IT is most likely that this is the point of a fixed crease. Yucan tyr to manipulate it but most likely (especially if it is a textured implant) that you will be unable to eliminate or solve this without a removal and replacement. Consider high profile silicone

I agree with both Dr Laverson and Dr Edwards.  It sounds as if your skin is very thin and the implants can be visualized though your skin.  Initially after your surgery this probably was not apparent, but throughout the years, wear and tear plus thinning of your breast tissue caused your implants to become palpable and visible. To correct this problem, you will need revision surgery with implants placement under  the muscle and perhaps use silicone implants . I recommend a  consultation  with your plastic surgeon.

The quality and longevity of any breast augmentation result depends on many factors, but one of the most important elements is the percentage of your breast that is implant vs. your own breast tissue.  The greater the proportion of your breast is implant, the more it looks, feels, and behaves like an implant.  This includes rippling and wrinkling, both palpable (rippling you only feel), and visible (rippling you can see in certain positions).  Another chief contributor to the natural quality of your result is the amount (thickness) of your native tissue covering the implant.  If you are very lean / thin, have little breast tissue to start, and the implants are not beneath muscle, the devices are more likely to affect visible surface anatomy because they are closer to the outside world, and covered by a thin layer of tissue.  This problem can be improved or solved by a variety of operative strategies, but I know of no good way to solve it non operatively, except by concealing with clothing, adjusting your position at key moments, and keeping the lights low when necessary.
