Usually not a problem

The mobility of the implants is not a problem unless you perceive it to be. The fact that tey are moving around more does not mean that there is a problem with the implant.

Good news/bad news

Implants that move are good because it usually means they are not hard.

Mobility of the implants generally do not signal a problem unless they are textured and designed not to move.
