I do cardio and weight training about 3/4 times a week . Will that affect my cheek implants? Will it cause them to migrate? I don't feel any difference after weight lift but I do feel a little pressure uncomfortable feeling on my cheeks after cardio espcially when I do high intensity ones such as high knees. I guess it's because my whole head is also shaking and moving during workout. Am I worrying too much? My implants were not stitched or screwed.
