The hump was visible on CT, but it wasn’t noticeable from the outside. I was told it had to be shaved down if I wanted silicone inserted, so I had it shaved down. When I get my nose implant removed, it won’t become much lower than my original nose, right? When I went for a follow-up, I didn’t like my nose, so I asked because I was worried it might get much lower if the silicone was removed. They said it would be almost the same as my original nose, but when I went again later, they said it would be lower than before, so I’m really worried right now. They said they usually don’t shave off much, only about 0.5 mm to 1 mm, but I heard that a 1 mm difference is important in the nose For those who shaved down a hump like me and later removed the silicone, was there a big difference in height?
