Throwing up two days after BA surgery, could this mess up my implant or pocket?

I had breast augmentation this last Thursday under the muscle. This morning I had a horrible migraine and threw up two times. Not a lot, but two or three heaves each time. I am wondering if there is any chance that this messed up my implant or the pocket? I am not on pain meds or in any pain, I just took a Valium an hour ago. I didn't feel anything pop tear, or instantly hurt, I am just paranoid now that something could have been messed up. My post op appt isn't until this coming Monday.

I am sorry to that you did not get the results you were hoping for with your breast augmentation.  Your implants appear to be sitting low and too far out to the side.  If you would like to fix this then you would need a revision breast augmentation.  It will seem like every surgeon will have a ...

I know this is not the answer you want but I would recommend you change your choice of bras and swimwear.  You implants do ride just a little bit low and raising them some would help with your areolas popping out but honestly that type of surgery is quite difficult and may not be successful.  T...
