Radix too high after insertion of silicon implant (Asian rhinoplasty). (photos)

soysaucee
Had rhino with silicon implant in Korea 1 month ago. The implant made my radix too high. I noticed that the bridge/radix curve for most people begins at the mid-pupillary line but mine begins above my eye. The top of the implant is slightly raised and is noticeably whiter in this area. Could the implant be too large or placed too high? What can be done to lower the radix and have more of a curve/break leading into the bridge? Can the implant be trimmed/customized to better suit the look I want?
