7 years post op breast implants and had a mammogram 2 weeks ago. Now implant feels dislodged/stretched. Thoughts?

cattt
I had a mammogram 2 weeks ago with a new tech. During the procedure I did not like what she was doing-it just felt odd and not what I have been used to. I now feel like one implant has been "dislodged" - moves around, feels heavy, uncomfortable. Is it possible that the pocket was stretched? I have had the implants 7 years and have had a mammogram every year since then with no problems. Would it be possible for whatever the issue is for it to correct itself? Thx for any info.
