First and foremost, only a board-certified plastic surgeon is qualified to answer your question. Please disregard all answers provided to you by anyone who is not a plastic surgeon.
Without examining you and knowing how long your implants have actually been in and what size they are, there is no way to give you more specific information. Sometimes saline implants can have very small slow leak and it can take a long time for the breast to go flat. That being said, you may have gained weight over the years and have more volume in your breasts now than you used to. This can mask a deflation. Again, without seeing you and examining you there's no way to tell. A deflated saline implant is not a major cause for worry, meaning that you don't need to have urgent surgery to remove or replace the implant. However, no device is meant for a lifetime. The saline implants made by American companies typically have a 10 year warranty for deflation. There is a compounded risk for deflation the longer you have the implants.
The best thing to do is for you to follow up with the plastic surgeon who placed your implants. If that is not possible, then I advise you to follow up with a different plastic surgeon. If there is concern for worry, meaning there is a breast mass that has been seen on a mammogram or ultrasound, you can be sent for additional tests or imaging, if it is deemed appropriate. If you had a normal mammogram but no ultrasound, you may need have an ultrasound. If indeed all you have is a wrinkle or ripple in the shell of your implant, there is nothing to do for this other than removing the implant and/or replacing it. Again, the devices are not meant to last a lifetime.
