Removing Silicon Implant After Rhinoplasty Revision?

dandelionV
I had a nose job ( L shape silicon) in 2010.I went to Korea to have the silicon removed. The doctor convinced he would use I-shape silicon+ear cartilage. It has been 4 months. My nose looks better but I don’t think I want to live with it for the rest of my life. I want to get the silicon removed again. Will my nose go back to the original shape? My case is different bc I had my nose done twice. I’m young (<25) but I’m afraid my nose will shrink to a new shape & it will cause my nose turn upward.
