If breast implant gets displaced due to overuse of pectoral muscle, will the displacement be visible/obvious?

Asked By:Mandy6026 in Montrose, CO

I pulled some weeds two weeks after submuscular breast implants & breast lift, & am worried I may have displaced the implant after reading about what can happen with overuse of the pectoral muscle in the early weeks following surgery. If this happened, would the affected breast look different?
