If I sleep on my stomach with large breast implants, can that deform my ribs?

I hope this question doesn't sound silly. So, if I have 650cc implants after a double mastectomy, can sleeping on my stomach eventually cause my ribs to cave in slightly? I wouldn't want to end up with less space for my lungs as I age. Thanks for your answers, I hope this question wasn't too ridiculous!!
