Can I change to smaller chin implant?

klfitch
I had a facelift and a week before the surgery, my doctor recommended I also have a chin implant. I agreed but we didn't have a clear agreement on the size. After 4 months I still feel it is too large. I plan to wait another 2 months to be sure all the swelling is gone but I think I will want a smaller implant. The next size is 2 mm smaller. 1) Will I have any loose skin afterward? 2) How is the swelling after a chin implant change? I had a lot of swelling after the first chin implant.
