Ive been thinking of getting a chin implant to make a subtle difference in my chin. I really don't want anyone to know cause im a little uncomfortable with people knowing. Im only looking for improvement and not perfection- so subtle change. Is it possible to get this procedure without anyone knowing? Just looking for a honest opinion. thankyou

Your assessment is correct, but you are only two weeks post-op, and your tissues need to heal, settle, and soften as your scars mature. This will take 6 months or longer, and your anatomy will assume new baselines and achieve new "normals" in sensation, tension, and resting appearance...
The amount of fat under the chin skin is not large enough to be affected by weight loss or gain...the same as your nose for example.
If you are not happy with the result, most likely a new chin implant must be used.
