In my 2 weeks post op a friend hugged and lifted me. My right implant is funny looking. Is it related?

Two weeks post op, my friend gave me a bear hug, lifting me off the ground, despite my protests. I felt a sharp pain on the right side. I'm 8 months post op, and my right breast still looks a little weird at certain angles. I have 550cc height profile smooth silicone, biplaner insertion. It's almost like the implant... Pokes out? From under my muscle. It's the most visible when I lie on my back or lean forward, and does not happen with the left side. Did my friend break my breast?
