What does releasing the muscle mean? If it is not released, does it cause implant to shift to the right or left? (photo)

Kitty1250
Replaced 22 yr. old saline implants with silicon. Wanted PS to fix right implant because it had moved to the right. It was very noticeable when I exercised, etc. My PS told me first PS had not released muscle. She released muscle and used strattice on both breasts. I am not happy with outcome. Breasts do not look alike. Left one looks good with natural tear drop. Right one looks higher, does not have a natural drop, and looks lumpy around 5 oclock area, and is still sticking out a bit to the right.
