Midway last week my partner leaned on top of my left breast implant while lying down and I heard a large pop noise. I weight is about 110 pounds and 5'6 height I am quite tiny, my partner's weight is about 210 pounds.

Implant movement may yield new sensations...

Smooth silicone implants slip around in the breast pocket and can create unusual sensations when compressed. The vast majority of these findings are benign. While implant rupture is possible, it is highly unlikely with the preceding events that your have described. In the absence of any other findings or symptoms, a late August followup with your surgeon is reasonable.
