Loose breast skin overlying breast implant
IT sounds as if your implants were placed under the muscle but your breast tissue envelope remains deflated and loose acting independently from the relatively fixed implant. Without an examination, it is difficult to say, but I am guessing you would benefit from a breast lift.

Excess skin after breast augmentation
If you have that much excess skin after a breast augmentation, perhaps you need a lift. If your implant is moving around, your surgeon may have to tighten the envelope that your implant is in as well. This could depend on several different factors and is hard to say without examining you.
Consult with your plastic surgeon on your options and go from there.

Loose skin over implants

Excess Skin After Breast Augmentation
If you have had your breast augmentation and healed up completely (3-4 months), then chances are the loose skin is not going to change. The only way to address this is by removing the excess skin directly in some sort of breast lift pattern. This could be as easy as taking excess skin out around the areola, to needing more out under the breast as well. It all depends on the amount of excess skin necessary to be removed. I would discuss this with your surgeon and...

Excess Breast Skin CANNOT be corrected by a Breast Augmentation
Without a photograph it is impossible to address your specific situation. As a principle, the perkiness and projection of the breast depends on the ration between breast envelope and breast fill. It is a common mistake to attempt to take up all the breast skin slack / excess with large implants. It never works. The results are often inappropriately, disproportionate breasts which sag quicker (the implants expanding and creating MORE skin).
In these cases it is important to take out...
