How Soon Does Start Skin Thinning After Silicone Implant for Rhinoplasty?

I had rhinoplasty 4 months ago. I know the rivision can not be done for 8 months or longer from the original surgery. However as the swell start to go away, the silicon implant that doctor used for the bridge became visible after 2 months from the surgery. My skin appeared to be getting thinner. You can see the shape and edge of the implant clearly and my nose becomes transparent with any light on my nose. Also I ended up with saddle nose. Is it OK to wait for several more month?
