I am about 4-5 years post op. I recently noticed when I raise my left arm, my left implant appears to collapse. Can this be fixed without surgery or is revision surgery necessary?

You were probably told, but did not hear during your conversation with your surgeon to exchange them. Any implant behind the muscle will be pushed to the side when the muscle is flexed. the muscle needs more space and the implant is taking up space. In your clothing, this is usually not...
If you go with gel, the risk of ripples is low. If needed, fat can be added to the upper area, or place the implants behind the muscle for better coverage.
You chose large implants and they may have settled as much as they can. Smaller implants would have dropped and settled better. Your nipples can now be raised with a lift if you want, or you can go with smaller implants that will fit your frame and tissue better.
