Sudden Change in Breast Implant Size?

bubbles1016
Yesterday morning when I woke up and noticed the left one was noticably smaller. It is also more moveable and less firm. I have 450cc on Left and 475cc on the Right saline implants, under the muscle. I called the surgeon, and he doesn't think I have ruptured the implant. At the last check up he said swelling was gone, but to keep wearing the band. Upon palpation I can still feel a signigicant amount of saline inside, but I am wondering why this one lost so much volume. Is it a leaking valve?
