Breast implants turn into flat squares when I flex pecs. 3 weeks post-op.

cookiesanddough
When I came out of surgery 3 weeks ago my implants were almost to my clavicle and squareish. The shape and position has improved greatly, but I am concerned because when I flex my pecs hard they go back up and turn into flat squares. They also still feel a bit tight to my chest all the time. I heard this is a deformity that is sometimes caused by sub muscle implants. Will it improve? Does it has to do with my muscle strength or the lack of sagging in my breast(-2) pre-op?
