Will Scar Tissue Encapsulation Remain a Lifetime After Silicone Nose Implant is Removed?

I just had my silicone nose implant removed a few days ago due to extrusion/infection. Besides the swelling from the procedure my nose actually looks better now that the implant is out. I had a polly beak shape to my tip with the implant in and now my profile is straight. In my case I DO NOT want to have any more surgery and am hoping that the scar tissue in my bridge will be enough to keep a good profile. Will the scar tissue remain the same for a lifetime or will it gradually shrink?
