What happens to pocket after chin implant removal?

i kept my extended anatomical chin implant only 2 days. And removed due to not liking. İt was size small 5.5mm and incision made under chin. İt stayed so short therefore there was no capsule formed. So what will happen to that pocket? Will that place be loose and empty? Or fill with scar tissue and make my chin stay bigger? Or shrink back to the bone? Since it was there only 2 days and i am 25 y/o. Its been 5weeks since removal and my chin is huge. İ wonder if i can get my old chin back?
