Will Nose Skin Sag After Removal of Nasal Implants?

4064anon
I got rhinoplasty around 4 months ago and I plan to remove it this summer which would be a total of 6 months of having the rhinoplasty. I used gore-tex and my own cartilage for the nose tip. After the surgery my nose become very high. I'm asian and typically we have flat noses but the doctor made my nose very high and i'm afraid that there might be stretched skin on my nose after the removal. Is there a chance that there could be stretched skin?? Also does weight loss or weight gain contribute to this??
