Can I take Mixed Martial Arts/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes with cheek & chin implants (and/or fillers)?

Asked By:Indigo2788 in York, PA

I recently began receiving facial fillers in my flat cheeks & recessed chin for volumizing, and I am considering implants as a more permanent solution. I am 25 years old. I am planning to start taking Mixed Martial Arts classes (I am not planning on going into competitions). Assuming I allow appropriate healing time, would there be a significant risk of problems if I were to get hit in the face after these surgeries compared to if I didn't get the implants? Thank you in advance for your time and advice.
