Hello, I got a rhinoplasty done in 2018. I got the L-shape silicone. I can’t bend my nose up or down. I can only move my nose side to side. It is very bothering me sometimes if I think about it.

I would like to take this silicone out. Is there any pros and cons that I need to know? I am so nervous.
