Can I hurt my implants/pockets accidentally stretching chest while lying in bed 10 days post op?

I think I accidentally flexed/stretched my pecs lying in bed. My back stayed flat, arms at my side, but felt the sensation you'd normally extend them behind your back for. Just had a revision, and he fixed my pockets a bit to prevent my implants from ending up too far under my arms (slightly peaked, bony chest & wide sternum for being very petite with 325 silicone ccs under muscle.) I felt pain along the sides of my breasts, it's subsided but still tender. Will this hurt my result at all? :(
