Will removing Alloderm graft from my nose bridge restore my nose to its original appearance? (photos)

2 weeks ago, i had an African American rhinoplasty with height added to my bridge and nasal sill excisions. The bridge was built up using alloderm. I hated the results b/c the strong bridge gave me a masculine look so my surgeon agreed to take it out at the 6 week mark. Will my nose look how it was before or will it being in there have changed anything?

First of all, a bulbous droopy tip needs to be narrowed and elevated -- sometimes elevated a lot -- and that involves complicated work on the cartilages that form the tip of the nose. A plumping graft wouldn't bring the tip up or narrow it at all. And if your tip is really droopy, the plumper...
