If I don’t want a drastic change when removing the implant, will reducing the implant height work?

Q: If I don’t want a drastic change when removing the implant of (2-3 mm silicone), do you think reducing the implant height in several attempts (once every year) will work? I’m always paranoid of people looking at my nose and I made determination to remove it someday

A: I would not recommend trying to reduce the height of the silicone implant, and certainly not yearly, as this will introduce more scar tissue to your nose and further impair the viability of the skin.
