i had an L-shaped silicone inserted into my nose 2 years ago. i now want it removed asap. and i don't plan to do any revision. how my nose will look like once the implant removed? i don't mind if my bridge will look flatter. i just don't want my tip become upturned which is my biggest concern.though i completely understand that i would never get my old nose back, but at least i don't want it to look really bad. please help me.
