When is a Chin Implant No Longer at Risk for Shifting?

User Avatar

I had a chin implant surgery 3 weeks ago and was wondering at what point is the implant no longer at risk for shifting, with the exception of direct blunt force. I am just a regular girl, not a boxer. Basically when can I get a facial or wash my face with regular pressure as I seem to be breaking out on my chin since I've been careful when washing over it, but as dumb as it sounds I am afraid to pop any pimples directly on my chin for risk of moving the implant.
