How long should I wait before having Gore-Tex implant removed?

Hello, I was wondering how long do I need to wait in order to have my gore tex implant removed? It is not infected and it has been a month since Surgery. I do not like the look of the implant and after very much thought, I rather have no implant at all (no silicone, med pore, other gortex size, ear or rib cartilige). Can the implant be removed as soon as possible? Ive seen cases where patients have them removed as early as 5 days to 3 months because of infection and nose is left as is/natural.
