Replaced 13yr old 400cc HP silicone implants in March. New surgeon went with inframam incision w/ 375cc moderate+ as I didn't like the projection of my old HP implants. I'm 7 months post op. Right implant fluffed almost immediately after surgery and noticed it slowly lowering over the last 5 months..feel pressure when no bra. The left side is still high w/ mild pain. Didn't have these issues w/ old implant. I plan to call my surgeon for a follow-up apt. Curious to see what options are?

The size needed should be based upon measurements and what your tissue will support instead of what you think you should have. Otherwise, with implants too large and heavy, your tissue will thin and sag and look worse. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
Yes, the lateral pocket can be tightened to prevent too much movement of the implant when laying down. The incision used, unless it is axillary, can be used to correct this.
You might do best with removing the implants and trying fat transfers for now. Once healed, then consider implants again, but avoid large heavy implants.
