Will Nose Return Back to Normal if Only an Implant Was Used?

Kay2
If only a silicon L shape implant was inserted into my nose, and possible scrapping of the bridge to to prepare the base for the implant was done during the procedure, will my nose return back to the natural state it was prior to the rhinoplasty surgery? I had surgery done 20 days ago and would no longer like to have something foreign in my nose. My concerns are around a sunken nose beyond what my original one looked like and the expected healing time.
