When I lift my arm my implant moves to the side towards my armpit. Willl this correct over time? Needs revision surgery? (Photo)

My left breast was smaller than the right one. The surgeon placed a bigger implant on the left and a smaller on the right. When I lift my right arm, breast with smaller implant, my implant moves to the side towards my armpit. I can feel the silicone implant on the side and the shape of my breast shape becomes kind of square. When I put my right arm down, my breast looks perfect. It is odd to me that I have an issue on the right breast where the doctor placed an smaller implant. I'm 118 lbs.
