Chin implant, hit by a car! Is there any chance or risk for my implant to move?

TzuMuDec 18, 2017
Hello, 4 days ago I got my new chin implant after the last one was placed incorrectly. Now, after I visited the surgeon, a car hit me after driving backwards. I didn't get hurt or anything. But I got scared after the car pushed me away on my shoulder. So I immiadetly turned around and felt pain in my chin. So my question is: Is there any chance or risk for my implant to move, because I turned around very quick and got pushed away by the car? Best regards!
