Soft tissue correction after chin implant removal, What are my options? (Photo)

Noura1988
I had a chin implant removed after 9 months of placement. It's been 19 months now but my chin has not returned to its presurgical shape and length. It's now too long with dimpling and it gets crooked when I smile.I believe it's a soft tissue since it looks like a ball. Also when I rest my chin on my hand or when I force a little of pressure on it, it feels pretty sore. How to correct this and is it possible for my chin to return to it's presurgical shape and length without placing another implant?
