How likely is it for the chin to heal completely to the normal shape after removal? Is it time bound?

I got a chin implant a while ago, and was wondering how likely it is for it to heal to the original shape after removal. I myself feel like for aging purposes it's a better choice and I don't like how it looks, I think a softer chin suits my face better The implant had 1cm of forward growth according to the doctor The clinic doesn't answer my questions and I have an appointment with the surgeon in 3 months to discuss this, however I don't wanna wait too long and remove ASAP

It is true that removing it from under the chin will require reopening the scar, resulting in more scar tissue. It will most likely heal a little larger and thicker.
