Can I remove medpor chin implant 2 weeks after surgery? (photos)

I hate it. It is not the swelling. I want it gone FOR SURE. Is it best to remove it asap to prevent tissue growing into it? Will there be dimpling, skin balling, or any other deformity not there before? Will my face go back to the way it was before? I am scared of this decision for the implant. I think I ruined my face. I liked my face a lot. I only wanted a little better profile, not a whole new jaw line.
