Nose Contraction After L-silicone Implant Removal?

Hi doctors.. I had my L-silicone implant removed 2 weeks ago and my nose seems like having contraction. I had the implant just for 3 weeks. The tip is now located higher to the center of the nose, the columella is becoming higher and shortened. And the nostrils are pulled up to the center of the tip, like a piggy nose with more obvious nostrils. I don't want to go undergo surgery anymore.. Do you think it would heal itself?

Did you have an infection and if so was it present long enough to destroy... more
