Chin Implant Removal- When will my chin look normal again?

danimcksmith
I had a small central chin implant in for 4 weeks, got it removed, I'm now 12 days post-op. I still see the shape of the implant and my chin area feels "squishy". I know I'm still probably swollen, but how long will it take the tissue where the chin implant was "shrink" back down. I read that the empty capsule can give you more augmentation and I'm worried that is the shape that I am seeing and I'm worried my chin wont look the same as it was pre-op
