L-shaped Silicone in My Nose, But Want to Get Rid of the Hard Tip?

April 5, 2012
Asked By:horas

I am asian and I had L-shaped silicone in my nose now and I actually likes the shape of my nose now except for the hard tip that make people notice I had work done. But then I heard some people say that L-shaped silicone will continue thinning the tip and sooner or later always needs revision surgery. I am so panic,I want to ask,is it true?Will it happen to everyone?So does it mean that I better do my revision surgery as soon as possible? thanks
