Goretex Verses Mersilene?

Gortex or Mersilene? Opinions of which is better? I read that mersilene looks more natural. Would 1 provide more exaggerated look than other? 1 surgeon asked if I was happy with how I look from the front view, which I think I am, just have a VERY weak profile, the other didn’t ask that. I have a little nose with full lips. 1 surgeon wanted to bring the implant to my lip line, the other thought that would be drastic. Ultimately, it seems U R in the drs hands 2 use his judgment of what looks “natural”.

Also, as you like how your chin looks from the front, it is important that... more

Chin Implant Material Compositions

The most important thing to realize is that the material of a chin implant does not control whether it looks natural or not. That has no influence on the result at all. The important issues are implant size and shape, how well it is placed, and how it fits into the overall face. Too much emphasis is placed on what an implant is made of. Surgeon's certainly have their preferences but that is reflective of what works well in their hands rather than some magical property of the implant. more
