Throwing up after chin and cheek implants? Can this shift/harm them?

April 7, 2018
Asked By:elleny003 in New York, NY

I got a chin and cheek implants about 2 weeks ago. I’ve come down with a really bad virus and have been throwing up non-stop. When I throw up I feel so much pressure in my face and the implants feel sore. Can the pressure from throwing up displace the implants in anybway? They are not screwed in. Also can they become damaged by this?
