If my implant is bulging at edge (palpable) and edge of implant visible thru my skin- does that mean implant not sized properly?

Rsmith175
I am 2 years (not 2 months) post op. On my right breast I had an allergen mod implant size 495 silicone. I can feel a bulge (and its protruding at bottom of breast by cleavage. Does this mean implant placed was too big? If constriction was released would this not be an issue? Is there any fix besides strattice or fat graft??
