Will my nose return back to its normal shape when I remove the silicone implant I had put in 4 years ago? (Photo)

June 4, 2016
Asked By:Flawnessness in London, GB

I know this has been asked a lot but the doctors responses are always so varied. After years of research since my first rhino procedure, I've decided I no longer want an implant as it looks unnatural on black people IMO. I would like to remove it and just have my tip augmented with strut and shield grafts and nasal reduction. I would like to know if my nose would look saggy or misshapen if I remove the L shaped implant or if it would return to a pleasing shape
