Could chin implant be displaced during Brazilian jiu-jitsu?

June 6, 2022
Asked By:Ryan599187 in Los Angeles, California

I do Brazilian Jiujitsu which is a grappling sport similar to wrestling. There is a lot of holding of necks and headlock type positions which I’m worried may cause a chin implant to become displaced. Is this a legitimate concern? Is it necessary for the jaw to get broken for the implant to become displaced? Or can it become displaced through getting pushed or squeezed out of place?
