Tendon Under Armpit is Tight After Breast Implants

1234me
I am 39, 5'6, 125. I had silicone smooth overs done through the armpit. my left has dropped and is healing nicely. My right was more difficult to put in, more bruising after still has not dropped. When I try and lift my right arm I can see my tendon stick out. It is sore from my armpit to about 5 inches up my arm. It also looks like atrophy has started on that arm. Could my PS have cut into a tendon? I am right handed.
