Fell asleep leaning on chin implant at 6 weeks post-op. Could I have shifted the implant?

Asked By:Visna in New York, NY

I must've rolled over after I feel asleep, because when I woke up, I was leaning on my chin implant. I am 6 weeks post-op. Is there any possibility that I could have shifted the implant? There was throbbing and a bit if pain in the area for about 30-40 minutes after I was up. Thank you.
