Help! Is there anything I can do to fix this ripple/implant knuckle?

fungirl9876
I’m 10 months post op (cohesive gel implant over muscle), and I’ve gradually noticed what feels like an air bubble or some type of squishy pocket within the crease on my left breast. Now, within the last couple of months, I can visually see a ripple. It’s not obvious, but it is disappointing, nonetheless. I may have lost 5-8 pounds, and I’m not sure if that would affect the appearance. Any recommendations? Thanks!
