Pulling weeds out, felt implant move in my breast (like loose yolk in eggshell) Did I displace the implant from the pocket?

Asked By:OneBella123 in New Hampshire, NH

I am 2.5 weeks post op. I had silicone under muscle breast implants. All is perfect, extremely happy with results. Today I decided to work on my yard. I was leaning forward pulling weeds out when I felt my left implant move with in my breast (like loose yolk in eggshell kind of feeling) I'm not in any discomfort, but am worried I might have displaced the implant out of its pocket ? Both breasts look good and there is no apparent deformity when I look in the mirror at both breasts.
