Breast implants far apart & pulling sensation on left breast increasing after recent mammogram (Photos)

Su22y223
I got my breast implants done about 8 years ago (275 cc) and I always noticed they were a bit far apart. I brought this up to my surgeon and he had a concern of developing scar tissue so I decided not to do anything. A few days ago, I got a mammogram done, and I am constantly feeling a “pulling” sensation in my left breast. I understand surgery is the only option to fix this but I also don’t want to change my breast size. Is this possible? How can this be fixed? Am I bottoming out?
