Calf Augmentation and Risks of Implant Movement

good11
I have been wanting calf implants for a while, but have been concerned with the long term risks, mainly with playing contact sports and doing strenuous exercise and the fear that with constant movement and stress on the legs, it could cause the implants to move and therefore, increase the size of the scar tissue pocket and cause asymmetry etc. I would really like to know if this is possible and likely to happen? And, if the implant did shift, could it be fixed?
