Should I get a revision or alarplasty? What would happen if l removed my silicone implant? (photos)

Asked By:monkeyking in Rio Grande, NJ

I got my the bridge of my nose raised with nasal implant and my tip got worked on to make it more projected. I don't like the bridge and would like it removed. Whenever I smile, my nostrils flare. And the tip looks like it's shifted downwards whenever I smile. My one profile is different from the other. I just got it done 1 month and two weeks ago. Should I wait longer? Will my nostrils change and tip go up? Should I get an alarplasty rather than get it removed?
