I had breast implants in 2016 and have found a slight dent in my right breast. Is this normal for them to dent? (photo)

I have had breast implants in 2016. Textured tear drop. I’m concerned about the dent that shown in the pictures^. Is it normal for them to dent or ripple? I can’t get to see my surgeon because he’s unwell, so I’m going to my GP tomorrow to be referred for a scan. I’m just looking for some reassurance.
