25 days post-op. While moving the implant I felt and heard a pop. If it is a broken stitch, what needs to be done? (photo)

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon completes surgery. Incision in the fold of breast. No issues during surgery or recovery; implants have moved properly, very little swelling remains. I have followed all orders & feel great. Tonight, while moving the implant per surgeons orders; I felt & heard a small ‘pop’. I am pretty sure that I broke an internal stitch, there are no visible changes. At this stage of recovery, what needs to be done IF I did break a stitch?
