I'd there anything I can do to help capsule from chin implant removal dissolve/shrink faster?

h_s_84
Hi.. 2.5 months ago I exchanged my silicon 7 mm button implant to a silicone anatomical 12 mm, both placed submentally. The previous one was placed too high and tilted so I had it exchanged, now the area where the old implant was is still swollen and ruins the shape of the new implant. Is this the capsule from the old implant or just post op swelling? Is there anything I can do to help it shrink or dissolve faster? The old implant was there for 7 months before revision. Thank you.
