3 Months Post Breast Aug, One Implant Moves Up as I Do, But the Other Doesn't?

Hi, I had 275cc silicone gel mod+ submuscular done 3 months ago. My one breast has settled and the other is still a bit higher. The one that is higher, when I raise my arms, the implant moves up as I do. The other, that has settled, does not, only the skin and nipple move/stretch upwards. Is this that my muscle is still tighter on that side and hasn't released the implant? They are both equally soft and move freely in the pocket. I can push in down, it just doesn't stay. Thank you

If the implant is still high, it may be pulling up under the muscle a bit. As things settle this shoudl get beter, but sometimes animation deformities do occur with motion.
