Is It Possible to Have Torn an Internal Stitch from my Breast Implants?

Wichita1578
I am 2.5 wks post op and was crawling on the floor to get something and felt a snap at the outside of my right incision and now the scar bump is smaller and i can raise my arm easier, not really any pain just wondering if I should be concerned or if I damaged something.... what happened?
