Is it normal for breast implant to shift slightly when laying down?

Asked By:jessica1234678910 in Denver, Colorado

I have a 1 finger gap while standing but when laying down my gap is 2 finger wide. Are breast implants under the muscle supposed to move while laying down? I thought breast implants never move.. I am 3 weeks in and healing very well. They are not going under my armpits or anything.. just noticed the gap getting a bit wider. thanks!
