Can I change my 5mm chin implant to a small, should I get a 3mm or 2mm?

LuciaN4
So I had a medium silicone implant 5mm placed 2 weeks ago under the chin. I wanted a subtle change and I really dislike this change. My question is can I replace it with a 2mm or 3mm? Will the skin sag? Also, will there be scar tissue so the 3mm will look like a 4 mm because of scar tissue forming? I honestly want 2mm less than what I have now. But afraid the 3mm will look like a 4mm because of scar tissue. Please give advice. I know it is very recent but I dislike it a lot. It's not subtle.
