Shortly after, the implants were removed 3 mos. because it was not the look I wanted. Cheek Implant Removal?

HellzKit
I am a male, early 20s and had medium combination malar/submalar silicon implants placed. Shortly after, the implants were removed 3 mos. because it was not the look I wanted, resulting in ROUND/FULLER CHEEKS. It has now been almost 3.5 mos after removal and my cheeks still feel a bit puffy/round. 1. Will the puffy/round cheeks go away over time? 2. Will the capsule created ever shrink and disappear enabling my cheeks to reabsorb to the bone? 3. Will my cheeks sag faster as I age? Thank you
