Can a breast implant move after 3 years?

JessUSA
I had a breast augmentation 3 years ago. I work out 5 days at the gym lifting weight. Last week after working out, I noticed a sharp pain on my left breast. I have been feeling this pain for a week. Whenever I raise or move my left arm, my left breast hurts. Can the implant move after 3 years? I had 350cc high profile partial (under and on the muscle). I am afraid the implant has moved and that is why I have been feeling this sharping/burning pain.
