Will I move my implant around by massaging the chin area after a chin implant to help reduce swelling?

Martinez9
I'm 1 week post op and I have been massaging the swelling around my implant. I'm wondering if there are any issues to follow by doing this? Will I move my implant by fiddling around with it this way? I had a silicone terino style 1 fixed in with stutches. The swelling is going down gradually with arnica gel and ice and so far I'm pleased with my results. I know it'll take about 3 months until all is clear but I'm sceptical now about it. Thank you.
